CT angiography prior to TAVI procedure using third-generation scanner with wide volume coverage: feasibility, renal safety and diagnostic accuracy for coronary tree

Objective of this paper is the evaluation of the feasibility, image quality and accuracy of a reduced contrast volume protocol for pre-procedural CT imaging in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using a third generation wide array CT scanner.
