“…Currently, in routine clinical practice, transthoracic echocardiography/transesophageal echocardiography, CT and MRI are sufficient to perform most procedures, even in challenging cases [36]. 3D printing is more cost-effective for challenging cases rather than routine cases.…”

“…Cardiac CT can demonstrate a thickened leaflet and diastolic bowing of the leaflets in a hockey-stick shape deformity as well as calcification in the mitral valve leaflet or commissure in patients with mitral stenosis (Fig. 5) [19]. Geometric measurement of the mitral orifice area on cardiac CT is well correlated with TEE [20].…”

Cardioembolic stroke is generally severe with a high risk for both early and long-term recurrence, requiring early diagnosis. Cardiac CT and MRI are accurate noninvasive alternatives to echocardiography which can demonstrate the potential cardiac source of an embolism and exclude other potential sources. The major sources of cardioembolic stroke include atrial fibrillation, recent myocardial infarction, valvular heart disease, endocarditis, and atrial myxoma. Minor sources of cardioembolism are paradoxical embolism due to patent foramen ovale and atrial septal aneurysm, atrial or ventricular septal defects, calcific aortic stenosis, and mitral annular calcification. The appropriate clinical application of cardiac CT and MRI can allow an exact and timely diagnosis to be made in embolic stroke patients.

“…Computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) are complementary tools to echocardiography that provide valuable information on mitral valvular structure, function, and associated chamber volumes ( 21 , 22 ). CT and CMR have the advantage of improved spatial resolution compared to echocardiography, which is particularly helpful in mitral annular calcification (MAC), congenital heart disease, and post-surgical anatomy ( 23 ).…”
