Key result
ECG-gated MDCT serves as a robust diagnostic tool for evaluating postsurgical aortic and mitral valvular abnormalities due to its superior spatial and adequate temporal resolution.

ECG-gated MDCT is a robust diagnostic tool for evaluating postsurgical aortic and mitral valve abnormalities, complementing traditional echocardiography and fluoroscopy.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to review the utility of ECG-gated MDCT in evaluating postsurgical findings in aortic and mitral valves. Normal and pathologic findings after aortic and mitral valve corrective surgery are shown in correlation with the findings of the traditionally used imaging modalities echocardiography and fluoroscopy to assist in accurate noninvasive anatomic and dynamic evaluation of postsurgical valvular abnormalities. CONCLUSION: Because of its superior spatial and adequate temporal resolution, ECG-gated MDCT has emerged as a robust diagnostic tool in the evaluation and treatment of patients with postsurgical valvular abnormalities.

Ghersin et al. (2014) conducted a review in Postsurgical aortic and mitral valvular abnormalities. ECG-gated MDCT vs. Echocardiography and fluoroscopy was evaluated. ECG-gated MDCT serves as a robust diagnostic tool for evaluating postsurgical aortic and mitral valvular abnormalities due to its superior spatial and adequate temporal resolution.
