Standardized measurement of femoral artery depth by computed tomography to predict vascular complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

The American Journal of Cardiology Feb 12, 2021

Durand E, Penso M, Hemery T, et al. - This study was carried out to assess a standardized measurement of femoral artery depth (FAD) using computed tomography (CT) to prognosticate vascular complications (VCs) after TAVI. A retrospective study was conducted including a total of 679 transfemoral (TF) TAVI patients. A standardized CT method was applied to assess FAD immediately above the bifurcation. They further tested sheath-to-femoral-artery ratio (SFAR), calcification, and tortuosity. The data exhibited that CT measurements of FAD and SFAR provide additional information to prognosticate major VCs and the need for a femoral stent-graft after TF TAVI.
