14.2.4 Pearls and Pitfalls
Transaxial image of aortic valve annulus is easier to acquire by first obtaining transverse view of aortic valve leaflets at mid sinus level with the three leaflets symmetrical in appearance, and by making adjustments to the sagittal oblique and coronal oblique images to find the appropriate longitudinal axis through the valve. The trans­verse plane may then be moved inferiorly along the long axis to the level of inferior hinge point of the leaflets for annulus image.
14.3 Case 2
14.3.1 History
CT examinations performed in patients with severe aortic stenosis for pre-TAVR evaluation.
14.3.2 Findings
Contrast enhanced CT angiography examinations for evaluation of iliofemoral access.
Figure 14.23a–d: There is mild to moderate tortuosity of right iliac arteries and mild tortuos­ity of left iliac arteries. Transaxial image of the iliac artery demonstrates normal caliber and no vascular calcifications.
Figure 14.24a, b: There is relatively small caliber of the iliac artery with circumferential calcification.
Figure 14.25a–d: There is large calcified plaque with severe stenosis of distal aorta and common iliac arteries.
Figure 14.26a, b: There is severe tortuosity of aorta and iliac arteries.
Diagnosis:
CT examinations in different patients demon­strate normal and abnormal appearances for the evaluation of risk of vascular complications for TAVR procedure by iliofemoral route.

14.3.3 Discussion
A variety of image reformats are acquired to opti­mally assess the aorta and iliac arteries. These include curved multiplanar reformats with transaxial images using centerline reformats, MIP and 3D VR.
The size criteria for arterial caliber for safe access vary with the type and size of the valve and the size of its vascular access device/sheath. With recent developments, the size of vascular access devices has decreased. Although it is pref­erable to have the diameter of iliac arteries larger than the size of access sheath, the procedure can still be performed safely with slight vessel/sheath size mismatch over a short distance due to disten­sibility of normal vessels. This distensibility is reduced with diseased vessels with calcifications. Circumferential or horse-shoe calcifications increase the risk of vascular injury and rupture.
Marked tortuosity of aorta or iliac arteries can limit catheter maneuverability for TAVR. This becomes more important in patients with severe atherosclerotic calcifications with decreased vessel compliance or with vessel stenosis. In the case presented (Fig. 14.26), the TAVR was per­formed via transfemoral route.

14.3.4 Pearls and Pitfalls
True transaxial images of the arteries are impor­tant in the assessment of arterial caliber, particu­larly in the region of vessel bifurcation or tortuosity or in cases of arteries with relatively small caliber. The centerline reformats through the vessels at bifurcation or tortuosity should be carefully scrutinized to ascertain true axial images perpendicular to the long axis of the ves­sels, so as not to over- or underestimate vessel size due to obliquity of plane.
The presence of dense arterial calcifications can cause difficulty in the assessment of luminal size due to similar attenuation of contrast enhanced arteries in some cases. Selecting a wide window width for display is useful to maximize the differ­ence between contrast enhanced lumen and calci­fication in the wall particularly for vessels with generally small caliber such as external iliac arter­ies. Dense calcifications may cause low density streaks secondary to beam hardening artifacts.
14.4.2 Findings
Figure 14.27: Transaxial images at the level of aortic valve cusps reconstructed in the systolic phase at 30% R-R interval: There is a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with fused, small right and left coronary cusps with a single raphe corre­sponding to Type 1 BAV. There is heavy calcifi­cation in the cusps. Incomplete opening of the valve during systole is consistent with severe aor­tic stenosis. Figure 14.28: Transaxial image at the level of the aortic annulus demonstrates a diam­eter of 31 × 25.3 mm. The area was 607 mm2 with effective diameter based on area 27.8 mm. Figure 14.29: Intraoperative fluoroscopy/angiog­raphy images during TAVR procedure demon­strate placement of a 29 mm Medtronic Core-valve just prior to, during, and after expan­sion in aortic valve. Figure 14.30: Chest X-ray showing the implanted CoreValve.
