Abstract

Rationale and Objectives: To assess both the complete aorta and coronary artery disease (CAD) using low iodine contrast computed-tomography angiography before transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Materials and Methods: 84 patients underwent computed-tomography angiography before transcatheter aortic valve replacement: 42 with standard iodine injection protocol (P1:120 mL); 42 with a low dose iodine injection protocol (P2:60 mL). Mean attenuation and subjective image quality were rated at different levels of the aorta, iliac and coronary arteries. Sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values for depiction of CAD were calculated according to the coronary angiography.
