The last decade has witnessed a substantial growth in percutaneous treatment options for heart valve disease. The development in these innovative therapies has been mirrored by advances in multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). MDCT plays a central role in obtaining detailed pre-procedural anatomical information, helping to inform clinical decisions surrounding procedural planning, improve clinical outcomes and prevent potential complications. Improvements in MDCT image acquisition and processing techniques have led to increased application of advanced analytics in routine clinical care. Workflow implementation of patient-specific computational modeling, fluid dynamics, 3D printing, extended reality, extracellular volume mapping and artificial intelligence are shaping the landscape for delivering patient-specific care. This review will provide an insight of key innovations in the field of MDCT for planning transcatheter heart valve interventions.
