Abstract
Bioprosthetic valve (BPV) thrombosis can be challenging to diagnose with cardiac computed tomography owing to metal artifacts of the BPV. In this case report, an optimized metal artifact reduction protocol using a third-generation dual-source multidetector computed tomographic scanner with high kVp (Sn150kVp) and tin (Sn) filtration and high temporal resolution yielded high-quality, artifact-free, dynamic images of a thrombosed mitral BPV.
