• PreâTAVI CT is an essential component of preoperative planning, providing accurate measurements of native valve dimensions that are critical for selecting the appropriate prosthesis size.
• The high correlation between CT measurements and the prosthesis size confirms the value of detailed CT assessment in minimizing sizing discrepancies and reducing potential complications.
• The choice of prosthesis model significantly influences the incidence of perioperative complications, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment strategies based on anatomical and clinical characteristics.
• Factors such as male gender and prosthesis placement failure are linked to higher mortality, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving radiologists, cardiologists, and surgeons in the decisionâmaking process.
• In summary, a comprehensive preâTAVI CT evaluation is crucial for optimizing TAVI outcomes and reducing inherent procedural risks, thereby enhancing both the safety and effectiveness of treating severe aortic stenosis.
