Figure 1 | Flow chart for the multidisciplinary evaluation of high-risk patients with aortic stenosis. Patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis should first be characterized based on surgical risk. The evaluation of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is then guided by assessing a number of clinical and anatomical factors as outlined in the flowchart. AR, aortic regurgitation; AS, aortic stenosis; CAD, coronary artery disease; CTA, computed tomography angiography; IVUS, intravascular ultrasonography; TEE, transoesophageal echocardiogram; TF, transfemoral.
