Use of complementary electrocardiogram-gated cardiac computed tomography in the assessment of aortic valve repairability: a pilot study
ECG-gated cardiac scan complements echocardiography in aortic repair, showing excellent agreement for morphologic evaluation and commissural orientation. It is particularly reliable for geometric height in bicuspid valves and annular diameter and left cusp geometric height in tricuspid valves.
