1) Discuss historical sizing algorithms for the balloon expandable prostheses. 2) Review the methods for measuring the annulus with MDCT. 3) Define an MDCT area/perimeter based sizing algorithm for balloon expandable TAVR and review the data supporting its integration.
This session is part of Canada Presents at RSNA 2014.
