Is there a role for multislice computed tomography in aortic stenosis?
Over the recent years, a number of papers have addressed the use of multislice computed tomography (MS-CT) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). The ability of the technique to detect and quantify calcifications was the first reason for its application to calcific AS. Indeed, quantification of valvular calcification first by electron-beam tomography and later on by MS-CT has been well validate...
متن کاملDiagnosis of aortic valvular stenosis by multislice cardiac computed tomography.
AIMS Current improvements in spatial, temporal, and contrast resolution of multislice computed tomography (CT) could be useful in the assessment of valvular diseases. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of multislice CT for the identification and quantification of aortic valvular stenosis (AS), compared with echography. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients, referred for coronary CT, were...
متن کاملSuccessful deployment of a transcatheter aortic valve in bicuspid aortic stenosis: role of imaging with multislice computed tomography.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has recently emerged as a therapeutic option for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are considered inoperable.1 To avoid potential complications related to this novel procedure (such as coronary artery obstruction or perivalvular leakage), detailed information on the aortic valve anatomy is critically important.1,2 Multislice computed tomograp...
متن کاملMultislice computed tomography for detection of patients with aortic valve stenosis and quantification of severity.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether multislice computed tomography (MSCT) provides a reliable, noninvasive imaging modality for identification of patients with degenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) by quantifying the aortic valve area (AVA) in comparison to the accepted diagnostic standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). BACKGROUND Management of patients with ...
