Table 1. TAVR CT analysis steps.

(I) Evaluation of the aortic annulus and root (Figures 1,2)
    - measurement of aortic annular minimal and maximal diameter, circumference, and area
    - measurement of distance between annular plan and origin of coronary ostia
    - measurement of the diameter at the level of the aortic root, sino-tubular junction (STJ), and proximal ascending aorta
    - description of root plane using angiographic coordinates
(II) Valvular and ventricular function analysis (Figure 3)
    - planimetry of the AVA (at leaflet tips in systolic window)
    - leaflet opening
    - assessment of ejection fraction
(III) Analysis of the aorta and iliac arteries (Figures 4,5)
     - diameter measurements at the level of the thoracic and abdominal aorta
     - Semi-quantitative description of wall calcification and tortuosity
     - measurement of minimal luminal diameter at the level of the common iliac artery (CIA), external iliac artery (EIA), and common femoral artery (CFA)
     - semi-quantitative description of wall calcification and tortuosity
