Cardiac CT may aid redo TAVR planning; leaves open need for outcome trials before routine use.
What is the role of preprocedural cardiac CT in guiding redo transcatheter aortic valve replacement?
Preprocedural cardiac CT plays a crucial role in planning redo TAVR by assessing valve degeneration, sizing, and the risk of coronary obstruction.
Jukema et al. (2026) studied this question. Preprocedural cardiac CT guides redo transcatheter aortic valve replacement by determining valve degeneration mechanisms, sizing, coronary obstruction risk, and commissural alignment.
