TAVR Section Introduction

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

The last section of this course is focused on

0:03

transcatheter aortic valve replacement or TAVR for short.

0:08

TAVR studies include a dedicated ECG gated scan

0:11

of the heart, followed by a non gated CTA of the thorax,

0:15

abdomen, and pelvis.

0:16

This is a dedicated section to explain the importance

0:19

of assessing the aortic annulus in preparation

0:22

for TAVR replacement, as well

0:24

as multiple other important measurements

0:26

to be able to perform.

0:28

We will start with a lecture entitled Introduction

0:31

to TAVR ct,

0:32

what Every Radiologist Must Know Because this will provide

0:35

some useful background for this section.

0:38

We will then move on to a brief TAVR case review

0:41

with two videos which do not have

0:44

accompanying case questions.

0:46

These two videos will walk you through an expert workflow

0:49

of assessing the aortic annulus performing measurements,

0:52

and evaluating the access vessels.

0:55

This will prepare you

0:56

to assess your own cases in the next section.

0:59

And finally, we will move on to the TAVR practice cases

1:03

where you will be able to now assess your own knowledge

1:06

through case questions.
