Background Cardiovascular MRI is advantageous in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) planning. Methods Thirty patients with severe aortic stenosis were prospectively enrolled. Both modalities showed similar aortic valve morphology and semi-quantitative valve calcification (all, p 's > 0.05). mm vs. 37.7 ± 5.2 mm,

BackgroundAcute ischemic stroke complicates 2% to 3% of transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs). This study aimed to identify the aortic anatomic correlates in patients after TAVR stroke.Methods and ResultsThis is a single‐center, retrospective study of patients who underwent TAVR at the Mayo Clinic between 2012 and 2022.

ObjectiveSpinal cord ischemia due to damage or occlusion of the orifices of aortic segmental arteries (ASA) is a serious complication of open and endovascular aortic repair. Furthermore, it aids in planning and conducting safe aortic intervention and assists in deciding on single- or two-staged stent graft procedures.

If you’ve been diagnosed with aortic stenosis, you might have come across the term TAVR. Understanding Aortic Stenosis The aortic valve regulates blood flow from your heart’s main pumping chamber to the rest of your body. In aortic stenosis, the valve leaflets stiffen and narrow, restricting blood flow.
