Reliability of Immersive Virtual Reality for Pre-Procedural Planning for TAVI: A CT-Based Validation.

ABSTRACT: Background. Accurate anatomical assessment is essential for pre-procedural planning in structural heart disease. Advanced 3D imaging could offer improved visualization for more accurate reconstruction. We assessed the performance of a novel immersive 3D virtual reality (VEA) for the pre-procedural planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) candidates. Methods. Measurement of cardiac-gated contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans was performed with the novel VEA and established tools: 3Mensio and Horos. Results. 50 consecutive patients were included. Annular and LVOT measurements obtained with VEA were strongly correlated with those derived from standard CT analysis. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) confirmed excellent consistency for
