Imaging findings
In a patient undergoing TAVI evaluation, imaging demonstrated a focal collection of contrast along the aortic sinus, suggestive of a perivalvular abscess, despite the patient lacking overt systemic signs of infection.
Key takeaways
Focal contrast collections in the aortic root during pre-TAVI imaging should be treated with high suspicion for paravalvular abscess, even when clinical signs of infection are absent.
