• Long-term durability is a concern for transcatheter aortic valve bioprosthesis. • CT provides an excellent assessment of the aortic annulus's geometrical characteristics for prosthesis sizing before transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). • Female sex and a small minimum aortic annulus diameter measured with CT are independent predictors of structural valve degeneration in patients undergoing TAVI with balloon-expandable valves.
