TY - JOUR JO - EuroIntervention TI - Computer-based prediction of coronary artery compression in the planning of transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation. AB - A 40-year old man, with a previous Ross procedure, presented with severe stenosis of a pulmonary homograft and was considered for transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI). Three-dimensional (3D) anatomical reconstruction from pre-operative computer tomography (CT) revealed a left coronary artery (LCA) in close proximity (3.3 mm) with the oval-shaped homograft (<strong>Figure 1A</strong>), while angiographic inspection confirmed coronary patency (<strong>Figure 1B</strong>, Online video 1). To investigate the risk of LCA compression, a life-threatening TPVI complication, we exploited a CT-based patient-tailored finite element (FE) analysis (1) (<strong>Figure 1A</strong>).
