Core Tip	We have noticed that only a minority of inter¬ventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons routinely look at their patients MDCTs and know how to perform a three dimensional multiplanar reconstruction. With this editorial, we would like to encourage all transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) operators to get involved in cardiac imaging. We do believe that this will improve outcomes. In case a complication occurs, TAVI operators will be more likely to understand the nature of the complication and learn from it. And this again will lead to improved outcomes in future.
