ABSTRACT
Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT) has become a reliable imaging modality in cardiology providing robust information on the morphology and structure of the heart with high temporal and isotropic spatial resolution. For the past decade, there has been a paradigm shift in the management of valvular heart disease since previously unfavorable candidates for surgery are now provided with less-invasive interventions. Transcatheter heart valve interventions provide a real alternative to medical and surgical management and are often the only treatment option for valvular heart disease patients. Successful transcatheter valve interventions rely on comprehensive multimodality imaging assessment. CCT is the mainstay imaging technique for preprocedural planning of these interventions. CCT is critical in guiding patient selection, choice of procedural access, device selection, procedural guidance, as well as allowing postprocedural follow-up of complications. This article aims to review the current evidence of the role of CCT in the preprocedural planning of patients undergoing transcatheter valvular interventions.
