Computed tomography–based pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation in patients undergoing TAVR: a novel method for risk assessment

ObjectivesThis study aims to assess the attenuation of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) surrounding the proximal right coronary artery (RCA) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). RCA PCAT attenuation is a novel computed tomography (CT)–...
