摘　　要：Pre-procedural planning is the key element of trans-catheter aortic valve implantation(TAVI).Multislice computed tomography of the chest,abdomen and pelvis with the ability to perform a 3-dimensional reconstruction has become the cornerstone of pre-procedural planning.We would like to encourage TAVI operators(interventional cardiologist and surgeons) to get involved in imaging.All TAVI operators should know how to assess the annulus,the annular root,and the iliofemoral access.We strongly believe that this will improve outcomes of this evolving procedure.Pre-procedural planning is the key element of trans-catheter aortic valve implantation(TAVI).Multislice computed tomography of the chest,abdomen and pelvis with the ability to perform a 3-dimensional reconstruction has become the cornerstone of pre-procedural planning.We would like to encourage TAVI operators(interventional cardiologist and surgeons) to get involved in imaging.All TAVI operators should know how to assess the annulus,the annular root,and the iliofemoral access.We strongly believe that this will improve outcomes of this evolving procedure.
