Aortic annulus measurement with computed tomography angiography reduces aortic regurgitation after transfemoral aortic valve replacement compared to 3-D echocardiography: a single-centre experience

ConclusionMDCT is superior to 3-D TEE in terms of sizing accuracy and clinical outcomes. Reduction of PVR after TAVR with MDCT is likely due to valve annulus undersizing by TEE.
