Morphology of the Vieussens valve and its imaging in cardiac multislice computed tomography

Introduction To deliver accurate morphological descriptions of the Vieussens valve (VV) and to investigate whether this structure could be visualized using standard contrast‐enhanced electrocardiogram‐gated multislice computed tomography (MSCT). Methods A total of 145 human autopsied hearts and 114 cardiac MSCT scans were examined. Results The VV was observed in both study groups, however, the detection rate was significantly worse in the MSCT...
