Imaging Pandora's Box: Incidental Findings in Elderly Patients Evaluated for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

This investigation found that PPIFs are common in elderly patients undergoing TAVR-CTA scans and, once discovered, commonly generate further clinical evaluation. Higher numbers of PPIFs may be predictive of poorer survival, but further study is required to guide the appropriateness of pursuing diagnostic evaluations for asymptomatic PPIFs in this elderly population.
