  • Application of Three-dimensional CT Angiogram in Perioperative Evaluation for Patients Underwent Transapical Aortic Valve Implantation——The Initial Experience from West China hospital

    ObjectiveTo introduce the role of three dementional computed tomograph (3D-CT) for patients underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure in perioperative evaluation. MethodsFrom April 2014 to June 2015, we retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 28 patients with severe aortic stenosis underwent successful TAVI procedure using new second-generation device, who were enrolled in this study including 12 males and 16 females at mean age of 72.8±4.5 years. We used 3D-CT to get the perioperative relative evaluation, including valve morphology and calcification degree, annular diameter, aoronary ostium height, ascending aorta, aortic sinus diameter, left ventricular-aortic angle, optimal intraoperative angiogram projection angle. Based on the evaluation by 3D-CT image, the prosthesis size, balloon size, best intraoperative imaging projection angle and approach of apex were then chosen. ResultsAll patients with severe aortic stenosis underwent successful TAVI procedure with mean logistic Euro-SCORE I:26.2%±7.9%. CT image revealed that mean aortic annular diameter was 24.6±1.8 mm with mean valve prosthesis size 25.8±1.1 mm and pre-dilation balloon size 23.1±1.2 mm and 76.8% patients were of tricuspid aortic valve with severe calcification and 25% patients were of asymmetric calcification. Optimal intraoperative angiogram image was achieved in 92.9% patients with the help of preoperative CT image. There was a statistic difference in mean transvalvular gradient after valve implantation (54.1±15.3 mm Hg vs. 13.1±8.5 mm Hg, P<0.05). And there was no mortality or severe complication postoperatively. Conclusion3D-CT image palys an important role during perioperative evaluation of TAVI procedure and it can be helpful for Chinese doctors to operate TAVI successfully.
