Feasibility and utility of anatomical and physiological evaluation of coronary artery disease with cardiac CT in severe aortic stenosis (FUTURE-AS registry)

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is common in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and may impact transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedural and long-term outcomes. CT coronary angiography (CTA) and CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) are tools used to assess CAD. However, adoption in the TAVR population is hindered by safety concerns with nitroglycerin and beta-blockers. The safety, accuracy, and utility of CTA and FFRCT optimised with these medications for TAVR have not …
