Hybrid Imaging During Transcatheter Structural Heart Interventions
Fusion of different imaging modalities has gained increasing popularity over the last decade. However, most fusions are done between static rather than dynamic images. In order to adequately visualize the complex three-dimensional structures of the beating heart, high-temporal and spatial image resolutions are mandatory. Currently, only the combination of transesophageal echocardiography with f...

Correspondence to: Dr Jeroen J Bax, Department of Cardiology, Leiden University Medical Center, Albinusdreef 2, 2333 ZA Leiden, The Netherlands; [email protected] _________________________ A ccurate knowledge of the anatomy of intracardiac structures is essential for the efficiency and safety of performing interventional procedures. Although fluoroscopy is an important aid while advancing cathete...
متن کاملThe present and future of intracardiac echocardiography for guiding structural heart disease interventions.
Novel transcatheter therapies for the treatment of valvular and congenital heart disease have increased exponentially in recent years. Parallel to this trend has been the need for multi-modality imaging in the planning, guidance, and evaluation of procedurerelated outcomes and complications. Echocardiography has played a pivotal role within the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Periprocedural...
متن کاملTraining in structural heart interventions.
O ver the last decade, there have been tremendous advances in our ability to treat valvular heart disease and anatomic cardiac defects utilizing catheter-based approaches. At the same time, the number of patients with acquired valvular heart disease or adult congenital heart disease who may benefit from these procedures has grown at a rapid pace—and will continue to grow with the aging populati...
متن کاملAdvanced Imaging of Intracranial Atherosclerosis: Lessons from Interventional Cardiology
Intracranial atherosclerosis is a major cause of ischemic stroke. Patients with a high degree of stenosis have a significant rate of stroke despite medical therapy. Two randomized trials of stenting have failed to show benefit. Improving periprocedural complication rates and patient selection may improve stenting outcomes. Fractional flow reserve (FFR), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and opti...
