The evaluation of patients following aortic valve replacement has evolved, with multiple imaging modalities available that complement each other and permit better and prompt delineation of specific structural or functional valve complications. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is one of the diagnostic modalities with significant technologic advancements that have made possible to evaluate high detail of the moving heart. The ability to deliver three‐dimensional and multiplanar dynamic imaging with fine detail has demonstrated the technique is well suited to investigate valve complications. In this review article, we focus on some of the most contributing roles of MDCT in the diagnosis of complications associated with valvular pathology.
