Pre-procedural planning is the key element of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Multislice computed tomography of the chest, abdomen and pelvis with the ability to perform a 3-dimensional reconstruction has become the cornerstone of pre-procedural planning. We would like to encourage TAVI operators (interventional cardiologist and surgeons) to get involved in imaging. All TAVI operators should know how to assess the annulus, the annular root, and the iliofemoral access. We strongly believe that this will improve outcomes of this evolving procedure.
术前规划是经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)的关键要素。具备三维重建能力的胸部、腹部和骨盆多层计算机断层扫描已成为术前规划的基石。我们鼓励TAVI手术操作者(介入心脏病学家和外科医生)参与影像工作。所有TAVI手术操作者都应知道如何评估瓣环、瓣环根部以及髂股入路。我们坚信这将改善这一不断发展的手术的效果。
