Overview

May guide mitral prolapse repair planning; leaves open need for prospective validation vs echocardiography.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) or mitral regurgitation requiring surgical or interventional valve repair
I
Intervention
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) for planning mitral valve repair

Cardiac CT is a valuable tool for depicting anatomic features of the mitral valve and localizing the exact site of mitral valve prolapse to aid in surgical or interventional repair planning.
