Summary:[Display omitted] •Elevated gradients after TAVR were seen using a nonimaging CWD probe.•Normal valve function was seen on transesophageal echocardiography.•A retrospective review of CT imaging showed stenosis of the brachiocephalic artery.•Capturing an elevated gradient from another lesion is a pitfall of nonimaging probes.
