Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides detailed assessment of valve annulus and iliofemoral vessels in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients. However, data on diagnostic performance of MDCT coronary angiography (MDCT-CA) are scarce. The aim of the study is to assess diagnostic performance of MDCT for coronary artery evaluation before TAVR.
