Key result
Pre-procedure computer simulation can help determine optimal valve size and implantation depth for TAVR, and may assist in planning LAAO and PCI, especially in patients with challenging anatomy.
Why the study?
Does pre-procedure computer simulation improve procedural planning and outcomes for patients undergoing structural and interventional cardiology procedures?
Does pre-procedure computer simulation improve procedural planning and outcomes for patients undergoing structural and interventional cardiology procedures?
Pre-procedure computer simulation represents a novel paradigm that may optimize device sizing and placement in complex structural and interventional cardiology procedures.
May support simulation for valve sizing and depth; leaves open prospective trials before adoption.
Key Points Pre‐procedure computer simulation can help to determine the optimal transcatheter heart valve size and implantation depth for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Computer simulation may be especially beneficial for patients with challenging anatomy, who are at the highest risk for paravalvular leak and conduction abnormalities. Computer simulation may also help with planning left atrial appendage occlusion and percutaneous coronary intervention.

Balakrishna et al. (2023) conducted a review in Transcatheter aortic valve replacement, left atrial appendage occlusion, and percutaneous coronary intervention. Pre-procedure computer simulation was evaluated. Pre-procedure computer simulation can help determine optimal valve size and implantation depth for TAVR, and may assist in planning LAAO and PCI, especially in patients with challenging anatomy.
