3D computer assisted modelling (3DCAM) for transcatheter mitral valve intervention. Patient-specific Multidetector CT data is segmented and the STL file is used to generate a virtual 3D model of patient anatomy which can be evaluated by the Heart Team in multiple planes and used to simulate the trans-catheter mitral valve replacement to assess the neo LVOT and risk of LVOT obstruction (A). The imaging data can also be used to identify optimal fluoroscopic procedural views (B)
