Aneurysmal and obstructive lesions of the left ventricular outflow : evaluation on multidetector computed tomography angiography

© Pol J Radiol 2021..

The left ventricular outflow is an anatomically complex region situated between the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve and the left ventricular aspect of the muscular and membranous interventricular septum. It gives rise to the aorta, provides support to the aortic valvular cusps, and houses important components of the conduction system. The left ventricular outflow handles high pressures and pressure variations and is subsequently affected by a variety of aetio-pathological conditions. Diseases involving the left ventricular outflow can be intraluminal, mural, or extramural, and the consequent complications of the lesions can be local, loco-regional, or even systemic. Appropriate evaluation requires comprehensive multimodality imaging with each modality contributing to assessment of different aspects of diagnosis, lesion characterization, local extension, prognostication for systemic complications and mortality, and the decision for the approach and type of intervention and aggressive follow-up in case non-interventional management is decided. In this review, we briefly describe the relevant anatomy and the gamut of structural abnormalities pertaining to the left ventricular outflow on multidetector computed tomography angiography.
