“…One further study showed that the time required for crossing the aortic valve was the most important independent predictor of silent cerebral infarction ( 14 ). In this context, the increasing number of transcatheter aortic valve interventions (TAVI) has brought technical and device improvements which have reduced the procedure time and increased its efficacy and safety ( 15 ). Besides this potential issue, one should also notice other known complications of cardiac catheterization, such as local vascular injury, bleeding complications, and also the exposure of both patients and operators to ionizing radiation.…”

The authors review the current role of cardiac catheterization in the characterization of aortic stenosis, its main clinical applications, its pitfalls, and its additional value to the information provided by echocardiography. Discrepancies that may arise between these two modalities are discussed and further explained. Hemodynamic variables besides transvalvular pressure drop are described, and emphasis is given to an integrative approach to aortic stenosis assessment, that includes invasive and noninvasive evaluation.

The retrograde valve-crossing of a stenotic aortic valve is a crucial step in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure. In addition to being time-consuming and associated with an increased stroke risk, inappropriate valve-crossing may cause devastating complications. This tutorial review summarizes systematic and detailed techniques to cross the aortic valve. First, the main challenges in retrograde valve-crossing are depicted. Next, a step-by-step guidance on valve-crossing is provided, along with an in-depth description of the three-dimensional anatomy under a two-dimensional fluoroscopy view. Finally, modified techniques for different anatomies are described.
