Take home messages
ØAortic valve calcium scoring may be useful to
corroborate stenosis severity in patients with low
LVEF, low-flow, low-gradient and no flow reserve
ØAbsence of flow reserve is a marker for increase
operative risk but does not predict long-term
survival or LVEF recovery
ØAbsence of flow reserve should not preclude
consideration of AVR
ØTAVR may provide a valuable alternative in these
patients

  • 33. Take home messages ØAortic valve calcium scoring may be useful to corroborate stenosis severity in patients with low LVEF, low-flow, low-gradient and no flow reserve ØAbsence of flow reserve is a marker for increase operative risk but does not predict long-term survival or LVEF recovery ØAbsence of flow reserve should not preclude consideration of AVR ØTAVR may provide a valuable alternative in these patients
