As a consequence of improved technology, there is growing clinical interest in the use of
multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) for non-invasive coronary angiography …

Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is an additional potential tool for the assessment of
coronary artery disease. It can provide information about stenoses in coronary arteries and …

BACKGROUND: Measurement of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) area for estimation of
aortic valve area (AVA) using two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the radiation doses and image quality of different dual-source
computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) protocols tailored to the heart rate …

BACKGROUND: This study reports the experiences of minimally invasive aortic valve
replacement (MIAVR) through a right minithoracotomy performed in the past 26 months and …

Although echocardiography remains the principal imaging technique for assessment of the
cardiac valves, contrast material–enhanced electrocardiographically gated computed …

OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous aortic valve replacement is an emerging therapy for selected
patients with severe aortic stenosis. Preoperative imaging of the aortic root facilitates sizing …

Purpose: To prospectively compare the accuracy of multidetector computed tomographic
(CT) measurements of the aortic valve area (AVA) with transesophageal echocardiography …

Patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) benefit from aortic valve replacement
(AVR). Management of severe AS in the absence of symptoms is, however, controversial …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to evaluate planimetry of the aortic valve area
with 64-slice CT in comparison with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and …
