Multislice computed tomography-based prediction of the implantation plane in transcatheter aortic valve implantation: determination of the line of perpendicularity and the implanter's views.

摘要

Prediction of the implantation plane by analysing the patient's MSCT is highly reliable in achieving an adequate view of the aortic annulus in TAVI. The analysis of LOPs showed the large interindividual differences that permit using a standard implantation plane. Therefore, we strongly recommend determining the LOP and IVs during the patient's screening process in each single TAVI case.
