Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is rapidly changing the management of patient’s with aortic valve disease, and cardiovascular CT plays a major role in procedural planning. During this course you will learn from a multi-disciplinary expert faculty on actual cases.

This workshop will allow the learner to get a deep understanding on all aspects of post processing CTA for the purposes of TAVR procedural planning. The workshop is primarily a “How I read” with the expert in a interactive format.

Cardiologists, Interventional cardiologists, Cardiac Surgeons, Physicians, Radiologists

Cardiac Computed Tomography

Upon completing the course, learners will be able to:

• apply cardiovascular CT to optimize clinical outcome in transcatheter aortic valve
  implementation (TAVI) and TAVR with a focus on annular sizing, device selection and
  strategies to reduce potential complications.
• Identify unfavorable aortic root and vascular anatomy and identify and evaluate alternative approaches.
• Describe the variants of aortic valve, coronary sinus and coronary ostia anatomy and how they may impact management of aortic valve disease.
• Describe the anatomy of the mitral valve by CT and how it can assist in TAVI planning.
