The feasibility of relaxation-enhanced angiography without contrast and triggering for preprocedural planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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).

What Is TAVR? A Closer Look at Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

AMS Cardiology

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.

Right Heart Catheterization in Tetralogy of Fallot

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Diagnostic cardiac catheterization may be needed especially in tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, to assess the pulmonary anatomy, including size and distribution of peripheral pulmonary arteries. Hemocontration is due to the diuresis following contrast angiography, which can be prevented by adequate pre and post procedure hydration.

Arterial Switch Operation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

That is, pulmonary artery is transposed over to the right ventricle, and aorta over to the left ventricle, so that normal anatomy is restored. Graft material has the disadvantage that it will not grow as the baby grows and can lead to supravalvar pulmonary stenosis later, one of the delayed complications of arterial switch.
