The diagnostic value of additional ECG-gated CT for the diagnosis of aortic valve endocarditis with aortic root abscesses and pseudoaneurysms: A comparison with transoesophageal echocardiography and intraoperative findings.

Detecting perivalvar infection including aortic root abscesses and pseudoaneurysms in infective endocarditis remains challenging, and standard transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) often leaves diagnostic uncertainty. This study examines whether adding cardiac computed tomography (CCT) improves detection of such comp...
