Aims The procedural planning of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) requires a
specific imaging assessment to establish patient eligibility. Computed tomography (CT) is …

Background Trans‐catheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) procedures had emerged as
an alternative solution for patients who are at high risk for mitral valve surgery. Although …

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can provide valuable information for mitral
