This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a newer type of heart imaging scan — called photon-counting detector computed tomography — to see if it can safely replace the current invasive procedure for checking your coronary arteries before aortic valve replacement. Right now, doctors use an invasive procedure that involves threading a thin tube into your heart to look for blockages. Researchers want to know if this newer, non-invasive scan works just as well.
The invasive procedure used today carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, and rare but serious complications. A non-invasive scan that's just as accurate could help patients avoid these risks while still making sure doctors catch any coronary artery problems before your valve replacement.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will have the newer non-invasive heart scan; if that scan shows significant blockages, you'll then have the standard invasive procedure. The other group will have the standard invasive procedure as usual. You'll be followed for 12 months to track how well you're doing and whether you experience any serious heart-related events.
