Transfemoral aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been long considered the standard of therapy for high-risk patients with severe aortic-stenosis and is now effectively employed in place of surgical aortic valve replacement also in intermediate-risk patients. The potential lasting consequences of minor complications, which might have limited impact on elderly patients, could be more noteworthy in the longer term when occurring in younger individuals. That's why a greater focus on early diagnosis, correct management, and prevention of post-procedural complications is key to achieve satisfactory results.

- - Risk stratification for dangerous heart arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death is challenging for doctors, but multiparametric mapping via MRI can help identify issues leading to these irregularities.
- - Current use of this advanced mapping method in clinical settings is limited, despite evidence linking mapping abnormalities to increased arrhythmia risk in various heart diseases.
- - The review emphasizes the need for more clinical studies to evaluate how these mapping techniques can enhance patient selection for implantable cardioverter defibrillator treatments beyond traditional MRI methods.
