Summary

In this session, review the anatomy of the aortic valve system, learn how to assess low-flow, low-gradient severe AS, identify the pitfalls to avoid when assessing paravalvular leakage after TAVI, and find out more about how to detect valve thrombosis and degeneration, among others!

Learning Objectives

  • To learn how to optimise the use of imaging in your everyday clinical practice for TAVI
  • To fully understand how detailed imaging can optimise TAVI outcomes
  • To appreciate the fundamental role of imaging in the prediction and management of procedural complications
