Article Abstract
Purpose: To explore the feasibility of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) planning computed tomography (CT) on single-source 8-cm detector scanners with proper dose control by using two deep-learning reconstruction algorithms.
Methods: Reduced-dose TAVI planning CT was simulated by replacing routine aortic CT angiography (CTA) with a reduced-dose aortic CTA and a reduced-dose coronary CTA (Group A, n = 82), while keeping the total dose unchanged. Each of the two CTA scans was processed with a different deep-learning reconstruction algorithm. Routine-dose coronary CTA (Group B, n = 86) and routine-dose aortic CTA (Group C, n = 77) with hybrid iterative reconstruction were used as reference for evaluating the acceptability for surgical planning (A vs. B for aortic valve; A vs. C for access route) and for comparing both the diagnostic and objective image quality (A vs. B for coronary arteries; A vs. C for aortoiliac arteries).
Results: The mean effective dose in Group A was 8.22 ± 0.83 mSv, representing a 57% reduction of the routine-dose TAVI planning CT, that is, a routine-dose coronary CTA plus a routine-dose aortic CTA on the same scanner model. With respect to B and C, images in A were scored higher for evaluating the aortic valve (p = 0.045) and the access route (p = 0.014) and for diagnosing the thoracic aorta and iliac segments (p < 0.050), while the diagnostic confidence were comparable on the coronary arteries (p > 0.050), abdominal aorta (p = 0.276), and femoral segment (p = 0.816). The image noise in A was found to be 21%-55% lower, leading to a significant increase in contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) by 63%-114% (p < 0.050).
Conclusion: Reduced-dose TAVI planning CT is feasible on 8-cm detector scanners by using deep-learning reconstruction algorithms, showing promise of implementing the examination in imaging settings that are more commonly accessible.

Salvage repair of complete aortic root detachment after Bentall procedure: a case of LVOT elongation.

Complete detachment of the aortic root following a Bentall procedure is an exceptionally rare complication. The vast majority of reported cases are secondary to prosthetic valve endocarditis or underlying vasculitis. Currently, the most reliable treatment for aortic root dehiscence-particularly in the context of prosthetic valve endocarditis-is repeat root replacement, typically via a second Bentall procedure or with the use of a homograft or allograft.

In-Hospital Outcomes of Simultaneous and Staged Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Endovascular Aneurysm Repair.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Introduction: Patients with aortic aneurysms are at elevated risk of rupture, dissection and death during and after transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR), often requiring consideration for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) at the time of TAVR. However, data comparing outcomes of simultaneous versus staged TAVR-EVAR are limited.
Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample between the years 2018 and 2021, we compared in-hospital outcomes of simultaneous and staged TAVR-EVAR.

Introduction: The natural history of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) remains inadequately characterized, leaving uncertainties regarding whether associated aortic dilatation arises from an inherent susceptibility or primarily results from altered flow dynamics across the aortic valve. We aimed to describe the evolution of valve function and aortic dilatation at preschool-age in children diagnosed with BAV neonatally.
Methods: The population study, Copenhagen Baby Heart Study (n >25,000) performed in 2016-2018, diagnosed 196 newborns (0.
