Abstract

Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is the treatment of choice in a consistently expanding group of patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Tricuspid and mitral annular dilatation with consequent valvular regurgitation are associated with adverse outcome. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is routinely performed for preprocedural evaluation of vascular access and prosthesis sizing. In the present study we aimed to evaluate the association of mitral and tricuspid annular dimensions in preprocedural CTA with prognosis of patients undergoing TAVI with a self-expanding valve.
