First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a strategy to decide which patients need additional artery-opening treatment after a TAVI heart valve procedure. Researchers used a special imaging scan (SPECT) to look for areas of the heart not getting enough blood. The goal was to see if this imaging-guided approach could safely guide treatment decisions in 71 patients with severe aortic stenosis and stable coronary artery disease.
