Why the study?
Preprocedural planning using MSCT is fundamental for acute and long-term TAVR success and complication risk estimation, prompting a panoramic overview of MSCT, fluoroscopy, and echocardiography in planning and guiding TAVR.
Multimodality imaging, particularly MSCT, is essential for preprocedural planning and procedural guidance to ensure acute and long-term success in TAVR.

May inform TAVR planning; leaves open standardization of multimodality protocols.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an established treatment for severe aortic stenosis across a broad spectrum of patient risk profiles. Preprocedural planning using multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is a fundamental component to ensure acute and long-term procedural success. MSCT can establish the procedural feasibility, the type vascular of approach as well as the device which is more likely to give a good result. Moreover, MSCT is a key tool to estimate the risk of potentially life-threatening complications. In this review, the role of MSCT for preprocedural TAVR planning will be discussed providing a panoramic overview of the key elements that should be considered when performing TAVR. Additionally, the adjunctive role of fluoroscopy and echocardiography to plan and guide a TAVR procedure will also be discussed.
