AbstractAbstract
[en] Objective: To evaluate the periprothetic leak in aortic valve replacement and/or mitral valve replacement on electron beam CT. Methods: A retrospective study was performed in 121 patients who underwent electron beam CT between 2002 and 2004. 102 patients underwent aortic valve replacement, 12 patients underwent mitral valve replacement, and 7 patients underwent double valve replacement. Paravalvar leak was estimated by electron beam CT. Results: In 121 patients after the aortic valve replacement and/or mitral valve replacement, 7 patients were diagnosed as trifle aortic paravalvar leak, 3 patients as moderate aortic paravalvar leak, and 4 patients as mass aortic paravalvar leak on electron beam CT. 1 patients were diagnosed as trifle mitral paravalvar leak on electron beam CT. Conclusion: Electron beam CT is a very useful method in detecting paravalvar leak after valve replacement and for follow-up. (authors)
