Abstract

Heart valve surgery is a leak reduction or repair operation or replacement of the infected valve. To alleviate the symptoms of valvular heart disease, it can prevent permanent damage to the heart. Heart valve surgery is normally open-heart surgery. This means cutting the sternum and to reach the heart. However, in response to the problems and other factors, there may be a procedure of other alternatives. Echocardiography and fluoroscopy is the main technique used for evaluation of the Prosthetic Heart Valve (PHV), for a particular cause restriction, they are the degree of morphological substrate or PHV pathology it cannot identify. Cardiac computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging has become the new imaging modalities for the valve prosthesis. It propose the possibility of a systematic literature review based on all of the experiments and the patient's study. Pitfalls of Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provide an overview of the evaluation of the PHV. Metal artifacts might interfere with prosthetics analyzed directly in the MRI, provides information about the flow pattern and velocity associated with PHV. MRI shows an abnormal, asymmetric flow pattern of PHV barriers, enables the evaluation of repair reflux. Therefore, it offers great clinical relevance as a complementary imaging tool for diagnosing CT suspected PHV disorders and endocarditis. MRI is more research to enable a normal identification from pathological conditions required to provide a diagnostic reference value, to be used for functional PHV evaluation potential shows.
