3DTEE may offer a viable MDCT alternative for aortic root sizing; leaves open whether small differences affect TAVI outcomes.
Does 3DTEE accurately assess aortic root geometry compared to MDCT in patients with and without aortic stenosis?
3DTEE provides reliable measurements of the aortic root and can serve as an alternative to MDCT for pre-procedural assessment in TAVI.
