    Abstract

    Introduction

    Chest radiotherapy has been utilized to treat intra-thoracic and mediastinal tumors.

Previous trials have shown worse outcomes with surgical aortic valve replacement. However, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes-related data in patients with C-XRT is limited.
