Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a three-dimensional technology that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to acquire detailed pictures of a patient’s heart.Unlike certain other imaging techniques, it doesn’t use ionising radiation, so patients don’t need to be exposed to harmful X-rays or radioactive substances. In the assessment of aortic valve disease, cardiac MRI yields

Multislice computed tomography (MultiSlice CT) is the most comprehensive and non-invasive imaging modality to evaluate candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation. It can help confirm the severity of aortic stenosis and assess procedural feasibility, as well as device sizing. Evaluation of the Peripheral Arteries and Aorta Procedures to implant transcatheter aortic valves, particularly when done

In the past few years, transcatheter aortic valve implantation has been one of the main breakthroughs in the treatment of patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for surgery. In patients with either self-expandable or balloon-expandable valvular prostheses, transcatheter aortic valve implantation has shown to be technically feasible and has provided
