“…Prospective gating for the chest portion of the CT scan, 18 dual source multidetector CT-angiography using a high-pitch spiral acquisition mode 19,20 and the use of an automated tube voltage selection 21 have promising clinical data. Finally, CT remains the cornerstone of the pre-TAVI work-up since it provides information about annulus size, peripheral access, coexisting coronary artery disease, 22 and the calcium score, particularly in paradoxical low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis. 2,3 In the present study, mean DAP during TAVI procedures was about 2000 cGy.cm 2 whereas several studies reported a higher DAP, between 5000 and 10000 cGy.cm 2 .…”
