Non-invasive cardiovascular imaging owns a pivotal role in the preoperative assessment of patient candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), providing a wide range of crucial information to select the patients who will benefit the most and have the procedure done safely. This document has been developed by a joined group of experts of the Italian Society of Cardiology and the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology and aims to produce an updated consensus statement about the pre-procedural imaging assessment in candidate patients for TAVI intervention. The writing committee consisted of members and experts of both societies who worked jointly to develop a more integrated approach in the field of cardiac and vascular radiology. Part 2 of the document will cover CT and MR angiography, standard medical reporting, and future perspectives.

Interobserver and intraobserver variability among different vendors for mitral valve assessment: implications for transcatheter mitral valve repair.
Radiol Med
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN, 55905, USA.
Purpose: Pre-procedural imaging is critical for transcatheter mitral valve repair planning in patients with mitral valve disease. As differences among various measurement techniques for valve evaluation are still poorly understood, we sought to assess the intra- and interobserver agreement of complex measurements derived from a prototype mitral evaluation tool (Siemens) and a commercially available tool (CVI42) using both saddle- and D-shaped mitral annulus techniques.
Materials And Methods: Multiphasic cardiac computed tomography angiography data were loaded into each software.
Development of a scoring system to predict endovascular crossing of femoropopliteal artery chronic total occlusions: the endo VAscular CROSsing score for chronic total occlusions (EVACROSS-CTO).
Br J Radiol
January 2025
Interventional Radiology Unit, Department of Medical Imaging, University Hospital of Heraklion, Crete, 71110, Greece.
Objectives: To develop a predictive score for the prediction of successful endovascular crossing in femoropopliteal artery chronic total occlusions (CTOs).
Methods: In this retrospective study, 84 patients were divided 70%:30% into a training and a testing cohort. Parameters such as cap morphology, side branches, bridging collaterals, flush occlusion, and length were derived from preprocedural CT angiography.
Complications of transvenous lead extraction-focus on tricuspid valve damage: a case report.

January 2025
1st Department of Arrhythmia, National Institute of Cardiology, 42 Alpejska Street, 04-628 Warsaw, Poland.
Background: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has become an essential component of lead management strategies, but it carries the risk of severe complications, including damage to the tricuspid valve. Currently, there are no established predictors that can help prevent these complications.
Case Summary: An 84-year-old male with a dual-chamber pacemaker was admitted to the hospital due to a pocket fistula resulting from a local infection.
Current Status of CT Imaging Before Common Transcatheter Interventions for Structural Heart Disease.

Over the past decade, several trials and observational studies have validated the use of minimally invasive cardiac interventions as viable treatment options for various cardiac diseases. Transcatheter techniques for severe aortic valve stenosis have rapidly emerged as alternatives to surgical aortic valve replacement in certain patient populations. Additionally, non-surgical treatment options have expanded for conditions affecting other cardiac valves, such as the mitral valve.
