Abstract

Valvular heart disease is a condition with increasing prevalence. Although the current treatment of choice is still valve repair or replacement surgery, percutaneous treatment techniques are valid alternatives for selected patients. Various non-invasive imaging techniques are currently available which can provide the information needed to select appropriate patients, planning procedures and techniques.

This article reviews the usefulness of cardiac CT to assess patients who are candidates for percutaneous treatment of common valvular diseases. It also reviews the image acquisition protocol and its role in the pre-procedural study, as well as in the detection of the most common complications.

Keywords:

Resumen

La cardiopatía valvular es una entidad cuya prevalencia se encuentra en aumento. A pesar de que actualmente el tratamiento de elección continúa siendo la cirugía de reparación o reemplazo valvular, las técnicas de tratamiento percutáneo ofrecen una alternativa válida en pacientes seleccionados. Las distintas técnicas de imagen no invasivas de las que se dispone en la actualidad aportan la información necesaria para la correcta selección de estos pacientes y para la adecuada planificación del procedimiento y elección de la técnica apropiada.

En este artículo se revisa la utilidad de la cardio-TC en el estudio del paciente candidato a tratamiento percutáneo de las principales valvulopatías, el protocolo de adquisición de imagen, y su papel en el estudio pre-procedimiento, así como en la detección de las principales complicaciones.
