fracture, and disc escape
Nonstructural dysfunction: pannus formation , paravalvular leak, inappropriate sizing or positioning of the PHV, residual leak
or obstruction after valve implantation

Trang 6Imaging techniques
Have a key role in PHV assessment and the detection of PHV dysfunction: TTE, TEE, 3D-TEE and fluoroscopy
Echocardiography and fluoroscopy are the imaging
techniques of choice and are routinely used in daily
practice
These techniques sometimes fail to determine the
specific cause of PHV dysfunction

Trang 7 Over the past 2 years, MSCT also has shown potential for PHV assessment
MSCT can be of additional value in diagnosing the specific cause of PHV dysfunction and provides valuable
complementary information for surgical planning in case of reoperation
Cardiac MRI has limited value in the evaluation of
biological PHV dysfunction

With Mechanical PHV, opening and closing angles can be
measured as accurately as with fluoroscopy
Biological leaflet thickening or calcification and leaflet
restriction can also be detected

Trang 12Disadvantages of MSCT
Radiation exposure
640 slice- MSCT: lower radiation doses
Need for contrast injection
Morbidity and mortality associated with PHV
dysfunction is high and MSCT can help to establish the exact cause of the dysfunction

identification of the exact cause of PHV obstruction (thrombus vs pannus) is difficul
MSCT:
Additional diagnostic value in the evaluation of PHV dysfunction
More complete assessment of the cause of PHV dysfunction and the surrounding anatomy
Key role in preoperative surgical planning and exclusion of CAD
