Zusammenfassung:A multiple location pressure sensing device for use with a prosthetic heart valve delivery assembly is disclosed in several examples. As one example, a prosthetic heart valve delivery assembly with a multiple location pressure sensing device can include a delivery apparatus, a guidewire, and a delivery apparatus. The example also includes a first pressure sensor configured to be positioned near an inlet end of a prosthetic heart valve and a second pressure sensor configured to be positioned near an outlet end of the prosthetic heart valve, wherein the first and second sensor are configured to measure a pressure gradient across the prosthetic heart valve.
