Imaging during Transcatheter Interventions for Valvular Heart Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Valvular heart disease is a growing field, and the number of new approaches for percutaneous treatment is increasing rapidly. These procedures usually cannot be performed with fluoroscopy alone; allowing echocardiography to be an essential role inside the Cath Lab. Three-dimensional echocardiography, and the introduction of a novel imaging modality that integrates live echocardiography and live fluoroscopy imaging, has potential in facilitating procedure guidance and increasing procedure efficiency.

EAE/ASE recommendations for the use of echocardiography in new transcatheter interventions for valvular heart disease.
The introduction of devices for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, mitral repair, and closure of prosthetic paravalvular leaks has led to a greatly expanded armamentarium of catheter-based approaches to patients with regurgitant as well as stenotic valvular disease. Echocardiography plays an essential role in identifying patients suitable for these interventions and in providing intra-pro...
متن کاملTranscathether Valve Replacement and Valve Repair
According to the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease, echocardiography (transthoracic echocardiography [TTE] or transesophageal echocardiography [TEE]) is the imaging modality of choice for the assessment of valvular heart disease in patients. Numerous less invasive therapies such as percutaneous or tran...

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...

Andreas Gruentzig pioneered coronary angioplasty, but we are probably indebted to him for far more than this. He instigated a more creative approach to percutaneous intervention, thus inspiring other ‘‘revolutionaries’’ such as Amplatz, Lock, Bonhoeffer and Cribier, who extended the field of cardiac intervention to territories other than that of the coronary circulation. Structural heart diseas...
متن کاملNonsurgical pulmonary valve replacement: why, when, and how?
Percutaneous transcatheter interventions for valve replacement or implantation is one of the most exciting developments in the field of interventional cardiology. Valvular stenosis has been treated by balloon dilatation with early and late results; however, treatment for valvular regurgitation has remained surgical until now. Most new designs have been investigated for implantation of valves in...
