cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) is the test of choice in evaluation of aortic arch anomalies. cMRI allows evaluation of physiology that is comparable to that obtained by catheterization.

Patients eligible for TAVR require imaging to precisely ... valve and performs balloon aortic valvuloplasty. The physician then positions the prosthetic valve and expands it by inflating a balloon ...

Medical history included a minor stroke, a mechanical aortic valve prosthesis, and aortic ectasia. His vital parameters were normal. Auscultation detected no murmurs apart from prosthetic clicking.

The team has proposed ‘supra-annular structure’ concept based on imaging ... to more stable valve deployment and optimized interaction between the prosthesis and the aortic root.
