Key result
Transcatheter aortic valve insertion (TAVI) is an increasingly utilized procedure for severe aortic stenosis that relies heavily on comprehensive multimodality imaging for successful execution.
This review highlights the critical role of comprehensive multimodality imaging in the successful planning, execution, and follow-up of transcatheter aortic valve insertion (TAVI).
Multimodality imaging is essential for TAVI success; leaves open optimal protocols amid expanding indications.
The introduction of transcatheter aortic valve insertion (TAVI) has transformed the care provided for patients with severe aortic stenosis. The uptake of this procedure is increasing rapidly, and clinicians from all disciplines are likely to increasingly encounter patients being assessed for or having undergone this intervention. Successful TAVI heavily relies on careful and comprehensive imaging assessment, before, during and after the procedure, using a range of modalities. This review outlines the background and development of TAVI, describes the nature of the procedure and considers the contribution of imaging techniques, both to successful intervention and to potential complications.
