Book excerpt: This book is ideal for cardiovascular imagers of all backgrounds as well as proceduralists (surgeons and interventional cardiologists) performing TAVR. This text is also of value for the physicians and nurses involved in the care of these patients, and for fellows-in-training. This practical text brings together guidance on using multi-modality imaging in one book and highlights its usage with a focus on patient care. Pre-procedural, Intra-procedural and Long-term follow up), this review offers expert opinion and evidence-based guidance on how to incorporate the various imaging modalities at each step in the care of a TAVR patient. Although much has been learned in the short span of time since TAVR was introduced into the field, our book will also offer recommendations for clinically-relevant research areas that will lead to best practice strategies for incorporating multi-modality imaging into TAVR patient care.
