Abstract Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) fundamentally alters patient physiology and blood flow relevant to contrast delivery for computed tomography (CT) imaging. Here, we present a comprehensive guide to..

Abstract Knowledge of mitral valve (MV) anatomy has been accrued from anatomic specimens derived by cadavers, or from direct inspection during open heart surgery. However, today two-dimensional and three-dimensional transthoracic..

Abstract Background Three-dimensional printing is a process enabling computer-assisted conversion of imaging data from patients into physical “printed” replicas. This has been extrapolated to reconstructing patient-specific cardiac models in . The..

Abstract Aims Mitral annular disjunction is fibrous separation between the attachment of the posterior mitral leaflet and the basal left ventricular myocardium initially described in dissected hearts. Currently, it is..
