Background
  • Study Design and Population
  • A retrospective, observational, and descriptive study conducted at the Hospital Universitario de Álava. A total of 101 patients underwent a pre‑TAVI CT scan from May 2019 to October 2022. Patients scheduled for interventions other than TAVI (e.g., Valve-in-Valve, TMVR) were excluded.

    Data Acquisition:

    Radiological data were obtained through the IMPAX system for image analysis, while clinical information was collected retrospectively from digital medical records, ensuring patient anonymity and data protection.

    Variables Analyzed:

    1. Quantitative Variables: Patient age, native valve diameters measured on CT, and the size of the implanted prosthesis.
    2. Qualitative Variables: Type of prosthesis used (Edwards Sapien, CoreValve Evolut, Portico, Navitor, Acurate Neo2), intra‑ and postoperative complications, access route (predominantly transfemoral), and mortality (whether directly attributable to TAVI or not).

    Statistical Analysis:

    Linear regression was applied to assess the relationship between native valve diameters (as measured by CT) and the size of the prosthesis implanted, revealing a highly significant correlation (p = 5.48×10⁻¹âµ). Additionally, Fisher’s exact test was used to evaluate the association between prosthesis type and the incidence of complications (p = 0.03821). A p‑value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
