Variables affecting the accuracy of MDCT in prediction of the proper prosthesis deployment projection for transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Variables affecting the accuracy of MDCT in prediction of the proper prosthesis deployment projection for transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Objective: We evaluated multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) accuracy for the prediction of the optimal prosthetic aortic valve deployment angle in trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with the different variables. Methods: Sixty-six patients underwent contrast-enhanced MDCT before TA...
