Echocardiography in patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation
https://doi.org/10.24835/1607-0771-363
Abstract
Current guidelines for patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) recommend a multiparametric echocardiographic assessment to detect structural valve disorders (SVD). The article highlights the specific features of echocardiographic evaluation post-TAVI. It describes the nuances of visual assessment regarding the prosthesis position and shape. The calculation of hemodynamic characteristics is presented, taking into account critical methodological aspects in TAVI patients, as well as the features of quantitative assessment for both of intraprosthetic and paraprosthetic regurgitation flows.
