Transcatheter aortic valve implantation operators - get involved in imaging!

Figure 1 Example of a multiplanar reconstruction of the aortic annulus. A and B: Double-oblique MSCT images at the basal insertion of the calcified native cusps; C: Double-oblique reconstruction at the level of the aortic annulus. The aortic valve leaflets are just barely visible at the level of the ventriculoarterial junction; D: Measurement of the short and long diameter at the level of the aortic annulus. MSCT: Multislice computed tomography.
