Popis | Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is increasingly performed in older and frailer patients with severe aortic stenosis. Pre-procedural computed tomography (CT) scans at the third lumbar vertebra (CTL3) can estimate overall patient survival after TAVI [1, 2]. This subanalysis investigates whether CTL3 parameters can predict specific causes of death, potentially allowing for more tailored post-operative therapy. |
