Left ventricular and systolic dimension determines anatomic suitability for transcatheter mitral valve implantation

A  common  exclusion  for  transcatheter  mitral  valve  implantation  (TMVI)  is  a  small  predicted  neo-left  ventricular  outflow  tract  (LVOT). Simulation of the neoLVOT is time-consuming, requires multi-detector computerised tomography (MDCT), specialised software, and computer models of the prosthesis. Measurements that do not require neoLVOT simulation may provide a simpler approximation of TMVI anatomic suitability.

This study evaluates several MDCT-derived anatomic measurements for their ability to accurately differentiate between patients eligible for TMVI and those excluded for anatomic reasons
