Does post-mortem computed tomography and PMCT angiography effectively identify complications and causes of death in deceased patients following TAVI?
Post-mortem computed tomography and angiography are effective tools for identifying periprocedural complications and causes of death following TAVI, offering visualization advantages over traditional autopsy.
Vogel et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Deceased patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) (n=32). Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) and PMCT angiography vs. Autopsy was evaluated on Complications and causes of death after TAVI. Post-mortem computed tomography and angiography successfully identified complications leading to death after TAVI, including bleeding (28.1%) and perforation or rupture (25%).
