Coronary artery assessment on pre transcatheter aortic valve implantation computed tomography may avoid the need for additional coronary angiography.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the percentage of coronary angiography that can be securely avoided by the interpretation of coronary arteries on pre transcatheter aortic valve implantation CT (TAVI-CT), using CT images obtained with deep-learning reconstruction and motion correction algorithms.

Material And Method: All consecutive patients who underwent TAVI-CT and coronary angiography, from December 2021 to July 2022 were screened for inclusion in the study. Patients who had previous coronary artery revascularization or who did not undergo TAVI were excluded.
