Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pre-procedural computed tomography (CT) imaging assessment of the aortic valvular complex (AVC) is essential for the success of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, pre-TAVR assessment is a time-intensive process, and the visual assessment of anatomical structures at the AVC shows interobserver variability. This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning-based algorithm for pre-TAVR CT assessment and anatomical risk factor detection.
