Key result
Adding CCTA to TTE and TEE is linked to better pre-procedural planning and procedural success.
Why the study?
To review how advanced imaging techniques and a multidisciplinary heart team approach are used to evaluate complex cardiac structural pathology.
Do advanced imaging techniques including cardiac computed tomography angiography and echocardiography improve pre-procedural planning and procedural success in patients with complex cardiac structural pathology?
Observational

Do advanced imaging techniques including cardiac computed tomography angiography and echocardiography improve pre-procedural planning and procedural success in patients with complex cardiac structural pathology?
Advanced multimodality imaging, including cardiac CT and echocardiography, is valuable for pre-procedural planning and achieving procedural success in complex structural heart interventions.
Supports adjunctive CTA for planning; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Review how advanced imaging techniques and a multidisciplinary heart team approach are used to evaluate complex cardiac structural pathology. METHODS: Single-center retrospective case series. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac computed tomography angiography in addition to transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography impacts pre-procedural planning and procedural success.
