| Popis: | In transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a biologic valve mounted in a stent is implanted without removing the native valve. This procedure was first done in humans by Alain Cribier in 2002 and was included in clinical guidelines after the multicenter PARTNER (Placement of AoRtic TraNscathetER) randomized clinical trial, which showed that TAVI obtained better outcomes than conservative medical treatment and is an alternative to surgery in patients with high surgical risk. Candidates for TAVI must be assessed to determine whether the procedure is feasible, because TAVI is not ideal for all patients who are considered inoperable. Multidetector computed tomography plays an important role in the anatomic evaluation of candidates and in guiding the procedure in those who are finally selected. |
