CT-based evaluation of thoracic anatomy in AS vs AR patients undergoing MIAVR
Preoperative CT revealed thoracic anatomical differences between AS and AR patients undergoing MIAVR. Although no direct correlation with cross-clamp time was observed except for AP distance in both AR and AS, surgeons should be aware that these anatomical features-particularly the rightward aorta and deeper and more caudally positioned AV in AR patients to make surgical decision making, surgical planning. CT-based evaluation is a valuable tool for guiding approach strategy and patient selection in MIAVR.
