Key result
Echocardiography plays an important role in all aspects of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, including patient selection, procedural guidance, and complication assessment.
Echocardiography is essential throughout all stages of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, from patient selection to procedural guidance and complication assessment.
Supports echocardiography integration in TAVI workflows; confirms consensus while leaving protocol standardization open for prospective study.
Aortic stenosis is a common valve disease with increasing prevalence in the elderly. The presence of comorbidities in this population can make surgical aortic valve replacement challenging; therefore, transcatheter aortic valve implantation is increasingly being offered as a management option for these patients. Imaging with echocardiography has an important role through all aspects of the procedure from initial imaging and patient selection, guidance of the procedure and assessment of complications.
