Key result
CT guides pre-procedural THV evaluation by assessing aortic root dimensions and access paths.
Why the study?
With TAVI expanding and radiologists playing a key role in pre-procedural assessment, this review addresses the established and evolving roles of CT and MR imaging before and after TAVI.

CT aids TAVI pre-procedural planning; leaves open post-procedural applications for further study.
CT imaging is essential for pre-procedural planning in TAVI, providing critical anatomical information for patient eligibility and procedural safety, though its post-procedural role remains under investigation.
Salgado et al. (2021) conducted a review in Severe aortic valve stenosis. Computed Tomography (CT) for TAVI pre-procedural assessment was evaluated. Computed tomography plays a crucial role in the pre-procedural evaluation of transcatheter heart valve candidates by assessing the dimensions of the aortic root and access paths.
