PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is an established non-invasive imaging tool for the assessment of coronary artery disease. Furthermore, it plays a key role in the preinterventional work-up of patients presenting with structural heart disease. RECENT FINDINGS: CT is the gold standard for preprocedural annular assessment, device sizing, risk determination of annular injury, coronary occlusion or left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, calcification visualization and quantification of the target structure, and prediction of a co-planar fluoroscopic angulation for transcatheter interventions in patients with structural heart disease. It is further a key imaging modality in postprocedural assessment for prosthesis thrombosis, degeneration, or endocarditis. CT plays an integral part in the imaging work-up of novel transcatheter therapies for structural heart disease and postprocedural assessment for prosthesis thrombosis or endocarditis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the key role of CT in the context of structural heart interventions.
