May guide preprocedural planning for transcatheter valve therapies; leaves open prospective validation of protocols.
MDCT plays an essential role in the pre-procedural evaluation for transcatheter valve therapies by providing accurate 3D anatomical measurements that guide patient selection and procedural strategy.
Ewe et al. (2011) conducted a review in Valvular heart disease. Multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) was evaluated. Multidetector row computed tomography provides detailed 3-dimensional anatomical information crucial for patient selection, prosthesis sizing, and procedural planning in transcatheter valve therapies.
