Explore the critical role of comprehensive CT angiography analysis in pre-procedural TAVR planning with Dr Deborah C Nercolini.

This presentation, part of the Structural Interventions track, delves into the meticulous anatomical assessment that guides optimal TAVR device selection and implantation strategy. Dr Nercolini addresses the essential measurements and anatomical considerations that determine procedural success, from aortic root geometry to calcification patterns that influence valve choice and deployment techniques.

Key focus areas include risk stratification for potential complications such as annular rupture, coronary obstruction, and conduction disturbances. The presentation provides practical guidance on valve selection strategies for challenging anatomies, including small annuli associated with patient-prosthesis mismatch, extra-large annuli with embolization risk, and complex cases involving horizontal aorta or pre-existing conduction abnormalities.
