BackgroundComputed tomography (CT) is routinely performed for planning transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures. Aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) is recommended to ascertain the severity of degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) in low-flow states, with the role of CT-AVA (aortic valve area) being uncertain. In this study, we determined the best AVCS and CT-AVA thresholds in patients referred for TAVI. MethodsA retrospective multicentre study evaluated 1162 patients undergoing TAVI...
