CT TAVI PROTOCOL

Description

CT TAVI PROTOCOL is a highly specialized computed tomography scan designed for planning Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedures. This protocol provides comprehensive imaging of the heart, aortic root, and peripheral vasculature. It’s crucial for assessing aortic valve anatomy, measuring annular dimensions for prosthesis sizing, and evaluating access routes for catheter delivery. The scan helps interventional cardiologists determine the feasibility of TAVI, choose the appropriate valve size and type, and plan the safest approach for the procedure. It plays a vital role in reducing procedural complications and improving outcomes in patients undergoing minimally invasive aortic valve replacements.
