“…Compared to the transesophagic ultrasound, Fleutchner confirms a 95% sensibility and a 96---100% specificity in the detection of moderate-serious aortic failures analyzing not only the orifice but also the regurgitant fraction. 15,16 …”

“…AVA quantification by CT during the midsystole (5%–25% of RR-interval) is feasible [11–27] and proven accurate with r values of mean 0.8–0.9 as compared to transthoracic echocardiography. In more than 600 patients, a mean r value of 0.89 is calculated (Table 1) when comparing AVA sizing by CT with TTE.…”

This paper describes “how to” examine cardiac valves with computed tomography, the normal, diseased valves, and prosthetic valves. A review of current scientific literature is provided. Firstly, technical basics, “how to” perform and optimize a multislice CT scan and “how to” interpret valves on CT images are outlined. Then, diagnostic imaging of the entire spectrum of specific valvular disease by CT, including prosthetic heart valves, is highlighted. The last part gives a guide “how to” use CT for planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), an emerging effective treatment option for patients with severe aortic stenosis. A special focus is placed on clinical applications of cardiac CT in the context of valvular disease.

“…However, due to fast technical developments of CT and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), these imaging modalities are gaining ground in the evaluation of the cardiac valves [47]. Studies show that the planimetric measurements of AVA by Dual-Source CT (DSCT) are very well correlated with the measurements done by Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE).…”
