Abstract

Recently, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has evolved as the standard treatment in patients with inoperable aortic valve stenosis. According to TAVR guidelines, body computed tomography (CT) is recommended for pre-procedural planning. Due to the advanced age of these patients, multiple radiological potentially malignant incidental findings (pmIFs) appear in this cohort. It is unknown how pmIFs influence the decision by the heart team to intervene and the mortality. We evaluated in a retrospective single-centre observational study 414 participants screened for TAVR with dual-source CT between October 2010 and December 2012. pmIFs are common and appeared in 18.7% of all patients screened for TAVR. The decision to intervene by TAVR or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was made by an interdisciplinary heart team and the role of pmIF in decision-making and time to treatment with TAVR or SAVR was analysed, retrospectively. The appearance of a pmIF vs. no pmIF did not significantly influence therapeutic decisions [odds ratio (OR) 1.14; P = 0.835] or time to treatment (91 ± 152 vs. 61 ± 109 days, respectively). Several findings, which are highly suspicious for malignancy, were less likely associated with invasive t...Continue Reading
