Técnicas de imagen no invasiva en el implante de prótesis valvulares aórticas transcatéter

Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been a true revolution in the treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Various advances have led to an exponential growth in the number of implants and a progressive reduction in their complication rate. One key factor in the success of TAVI has been the role of non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques in pre-procedural planning and candidate selection. These techniques enable the determination of the type and size of the prosthetic valve to be implanted, prediction of risks, assessment of the suitability of vascular access, procedure monitoring, and post-implant follow-up. This review addresses the role of non-invasive imaging techniques before, during, and after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
