Pre-procedural CT angiography inferior vena cava measurements: a predictor of mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation

To assess the value of pre-procedural computed tomography angiography (CTA) measurements of the suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) to detect elevated central venous pressure (CVP) assessed by right heart catheterisation (RHC), and to predict post-procedural 1-year mortality in a cohort of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We retrospectively evaluated 408 consecutive patients undergoing CTA before TAVI between...
