Imaging Evaluation and Interpretation for Vascular Access for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

T Raymond Foley et al. Interv Cardiol Clin. 2018 Jul.

Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an effective therapy for aortic stenosis in patients who are at intermediate and high surgical risk. Vascular access remains critical to the success of the TAVR procedure. This article reviews the use of imaging in planning and executing TAVR access.
