Abstract
A systematic approach to quantifying mitral annular calcification (MAC) is essential to determine feasibility of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). We aim to standardize MAC classification to guide therapy. 87 patients from 9/2015-7/2019 underwent CT analysis at 2 centers to evaluate
