Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capabilities of photon-counting (PC) CT combined with artificial intelligence-derived coronary computed tomography angiography (PC-CCTA) stenosis quantification and fractional flow reserve prediction (FFRai) for the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) work-up.
