Morphology and calcification characterization in patients undergoing TAVI: A 3D statistical shape modelling study.

ABSTRACT: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular disease becoming more prevalent globally due to the aging of the population. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive intervention indicated for AS patients as alternative to surgical replacement. TAVI is to date an established procedure. However, it has been often associated with complications such as paravalvular leakage (PVL) or conduction abnormalities. Evidence of associations between morphological features of the aortic root, valve calcification measurements and suboptimal procedural outcomes have been suggested but the analyses were limited by availability and reproducibility of clinical measurements. In this work, we aim to enrich the characterization of AS patients referred for TAVI by analyzing the clinical f
