Identical Prosthesis valve selection in UHR-CTA and HPS-CTA based on HPS-CTA image quality

Identical prosthesis sizing
Sapien 3 Evolute R
Total (n = 64) 58/64 (91%) 57/64 (89%)
High IQ, (n = 36) 35/36 (97%) 34/36 (94%)
Low IQ (n = 28) 23/28 (82%) 23/28 (82%)

Table presents a comparison of identical prosthesis valve selections for Sapien 3 and Evolute R, based on Ultra-High Resolution Computed Tomography Angiography (UHR-CTA) and High-Pitch Spectral CT-angiography (HPS-CTA). The data is categorized into two groups: patients with high image quality score on HPS-CTA (score values 3 and 4) and patients with low image quality on HPS-CTA (score values 1 and 2). The selection criteria for Sapien 3 valves are based on the aortic annular area, whereas for Evolute R, the criteria depend on the aortic valve perimeter
