Pretranscatheter and Posttranscatheter Valve Planning with Computed Tomography

Abstract

The range of potential transcatheter solutions to valve disease is increasing, bringing treatment options to those in whom surgery confers prohibitively high risk. As the range of devices and their indications grow, so too will the demand for procedural planning. Computed tomography will continue to enable this growth through the provision of accurate device sizing and procedural risk assessment.
