Coronary artery evaluation with CT angiography before TAVI is feasible in selected patients. Compared with first-generation DSCT, state-of-the-art third-generation DSCT technology is superior for this purpose, allowing for less contrast medium and radiation dose while providing better image quality and improved diagnostic performance.
