Role of Cardiac CT Before Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

Mohamed Marwan et al. Curr Cardiol Rep. 2016 Feb.

Abstract

Catheter-based aortic valve implantation is increasingly being performed in high-risk patients with symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. For successful planning of the procedure, CT has been shown to provide crucial information concerning the aortic root as well as the peripheral access vessels. This article illustrates the increasing role of CT before transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Keywords: CT; TAVI.
