CTICasesMitral Valve Prolapse on Non-Gated CT
Imaging findings
A pre-procedural CTA for robotic mitral valve repair (non-gated) demonstrates pronounced mitral valve prolapse. Both the anterior and posterior mitral valve leaflets show ballooning backwards, measuring 12 millimeters posterior to the mitral valve plane, which exceeds the diagnostic criteria of 2-3 millimeters.
Key takeaways
Mitral valve prolapse, characterized by posterior ballooning of the mitral valve leaflets, can be clearly identified even on non-gated CT examinations. It is an important finding for surgical planning of mitral valve repair.
