Cardiac Amyloid in Aortic Stenosis An 88-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis. (A) DPD scintigraphy fused single-photon emission tomography/computed tomography illustrating cardiac tracer retention suggestive of cardiac amyloid, with large bilateral pleural effusions. (B) Fluoroscopy demonstrating the 26-mm Edwards Sapien 3 valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) in situ during the transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Note the pre-existing dual-chamber pacemaker leads.
