The role of four-dimensional computed tomography in transcatheter aortic valve replacement prosthesis endocarditis with concurrent leaflet thrombosis: a case report.
Nancy KhavHashrul N RashidAdam J BrownPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2020)
Echocardiography should be the first-line investigation for assessing leaflet morphology in suspected prosthetic valve endocarditis or leaflet thrombosis but its accuracy may be limited by artefact. Our case highlights that four-dimensional computed tomography provides further evaluation of prosthesis leaflet morphology/motion, providing valuable diagnostic information.
