Key result
Hypoattenuated leaflet thickening after transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement is associated with reduced leaflet mobility and delayed resolution of heart failure symptoms.
Why the study?
What are the pre-procedural cardiac CTA predictors of hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) after transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement?
What are the pre-procedural cardiac CTA predictors of hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) after transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement?
This study aims to identify pre-procedural CT predictors of hypoattenuated leaflet thickening after transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement.
The presence of hypoattenuatted leaflet thickening (HALT) after transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) has been associated with reduced leaflet mobility and delayed resolution of heart failure symptoms. The aim of our study is to identify potential predictors for HALT in pre-procedural cardiac CTA prior to TTVR Evoque implantation.
