Role of myocardial scar on 30day outcome after TAVI

Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) offers a minimal invasive option for treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis at high risk for conventional surgery. The objective of this study was to investigate whether presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) patterns detected by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) is a risk factor for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after TAVI within the first 30 days.
