Excerpt
Transarterial aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a valid alternative to treat aortic stenosis in patients with high surgical risk. The impact of TAVI on changes in blood flow dynamics in the ascending aorta has not been systematically analyzed. Using temporally resolved, three-dimensional, phase contrast MRI (4D-flow), we studied 3D hemodynamics in the ascending aorta (AAo) after TAVI and compared the results to patients with conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) as well as healthy controls. …
