Abstract:AimsLung ultrasound (LUS) is a sensitive tool to assess pulmonary congestion (PC). Few data are available on LUS‐PC evaluation in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and prognostic impact of LUS‐PC in patients with severe AS before and after TAVI.Methods and resultsWe designed a single‐centre prospective study in patients referred for TAVI for severe AS (ClinicalTrials.gov identification number: … Show more
