Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patient selection and treatment strategy, including 3D imaging and risk scores
This review highlights key areas of uncertainty in TAVI patient selection, including risk stratification, imaging for complex anatomy, and management of concomitant valvular or coronary disease.
Cite This Study
Bax et al. (2014) conducted a review in Severe aortic stenosis. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was evaluated. This review discusses areas of uncertainty in patient selection for TAVI, including risk scores, 3D imaging for prosthesis sizing, complex valve anatomy, and concomitant conditions.
