We investigated the impact of CT-determined muscle quantity (measured as psoas muscle area [PMA] and psoas muscle index [PMI]) and quality (measured as psoas muscle density [PMD]) on hospital length of stay (LOS) after TAVI.enLength of stay; Psoas muscle area; Psoas muscle density; Sarcopenia; Transcatheter aortic valve implantationComputed Tomography-Determined Muscle Quality Rather Than Muscle Quantity Is a Better Determinant of Prolonged Hospital Length of Stay in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantationjournal article10.1016/j.acra.2019.05.007311601742-s2.0-85066304509https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85066304509
