AI-Derived Pericardial Effusion Volume and Long-Term Mortality After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Background: Pericardial effusion is a common finding on pre-procedural computed tomography (CT) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, its clinical significance remains uncertain. Using artificial intelligence (AI)-based image analysis, we...

More Than Fluid: AI-Derived Pleural Effusion Volume as a Marker of Cardiovascular Congestion in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Background/Objectives: Pleural effusions are frequently encountered on pre-procedural computed tomography (CT) scans in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While often regarded as a marker of congestion and advanced cardiovascular disease, their cl...
