The definitive CT planning guide for transcatheter right heart interventions.
Tricuspid regurgitation affects a large and often undertreated patient population. At the same time, the rapid expansion of transcatheter tricuspid repair and replacement, pulmonary valve interventions, and caval valve implantation has made precise preprocedural imaging essential. Cardiac CT is now a central tool in structural heart practice, enabling accurate anatomical assessment, procedural planning, and post-intervention evaluation.
Cardiac CT for Transcatheter Right Heart Interventions: Practical Insights is a clinically focused, decision-oriented guide designed to help specialists translate imaging findings into confident procedural strategies. Covering the full workflow?from acquisition protocols to structured reporting?it provides a clear framework for integrating CT into everyday practice and Heart Team decision-making.
Inside, readers will find:
- Practical CT acquisition protocols and workflow strategies for right heart interventions
- Tricuspid annular and leaflet assessment for TEER and TTVR
- RVOT morphology, conduit evaluation, and coronary proximity analysis for TPVI
- Caval and hepatic venous anatomy with sizing strategies for caval valve implantation
- Structured reporting templates and preprocedural checklists
- Guidance on reporting pitfalls, borderline findings, and uncertainty
- AI-assisted CT analysis, simulation tools, and emerging technologies
- Case-based learning linking imaging to real-world clinical decisions
- Reference tables, complication guides, and glossary material for daily use
Written for cardiac radiologists, imaging cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, fellows, and CT technologists, this book serves as a practical clinical companion for modern structural heart programmes.
More than a conventional textbook, it provides a structured approach to using cardiac CT not only to measure anatomy, but to guide decisions, improve communication, and support safer, more personalised patient care.
