Expanding utility of cardiac computed tomography in infective endocarditis: A contemporary review

Figure 1 Prosthetic aortic valve infective endocarditis with valve dehiscence and pseudoaneurysm. Patient with extensive peri-aortic root abscess cavity/pseudo-aneurysm (stars) related to prosthetic valve endocarditis. Note the extensive peri-valvular space around the prosthetic aortic valve and evidence of valve dehiscence on transesophageal echocardiography. Comparable short-axis and long-axis images from cardiac computed tomography and short-axis and long-axis images from transesophageal echocardiography.
