Most TAVR sites use CT for Aortic Root sizing. CT sizing can be inaccurate, for example in the presence of motion artifact, use of improper phase of the cardiac cycle, and due to the need of contrast it also could pose serious risk in kidney patients. This module gives insight how to size the...CVSP038VILT
Approximately 50% of severe AS patients in the United States don’t get to surgical or catheter-based treatment due to improper Aortic Valve echo assessment. Both acquisition and interpretation are responsible, an inherent deficiency of 2D imaging of a 3-dimensional structure. This module goes...CVSP042VILT
