AB  - For patients with severe aortic stenosis, open-heart surgical valve replacement remains the current clinical standard with excellent long-term outcomes [Schoenhagen P et al. J Cardiovasc Comput Tomogr 2011]. For those with severe aortic stenosis who are considered too high risk for the traditional approach, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has proven to be a viable treatment option [Sinning JM et al. Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J 2012]. This article discusses the use of aortic multislice computed tomography for TAVI screening.
