Module 1 · In development
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Patient selection, CT-based planning, access, valve deployment and post-deployment assessment for balloon-expandable and self-expanding transcatheter aortic valves, with complication recognition and the trial evidence behind current practice.
This module is in development. Teaching content, quizzes and the case will appear after clinical writing and independent review. The objectives below are drafts and may change.
Draft learning objectives
At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
- Apply guideline criteria and heart team assessment to select patients for TAVR versus surgical replacement.
- Interpret pre-procedural CT to size the annulus and assess access, coronary height and sinus dimensions.
- Describe deployment steps and imaging targets for balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves.
- Recognize and outline initial management of annular rupture, coronary obstruction, conduction disturbance and vascular complications.
