Abstract:
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis. As TAVR continues to evolve, precise pre-procedural planning and imaging have become increasingly critical. While transthoracic echocardiography remains indispensable for assessing the severity of aortic stenosis, cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has emerged as the benchmark imaging modality for pre-procedural planning for TAVR. CCTA provides detailed anatomical information essential for patient selection, procedural success, and the mitigation of complications. This review aims to equip practitioners with the knowledge to effectively integrate CCTA into the TAVR workflow, ensuring a systematic approach to patient evaluation and procedural planning while addressing future challenges in the field.

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
