Purpose Of Review:
Recent advancements in transcatheter valvular interventions have resulted in a growing demand for advanced cardiac imaging to help guide these procedures.
Recent Findings:
Both echocardiography and multi-detector computed tomography have played essential roles in the maturation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement and are now building on these experiences and helping inform the nascent field of transcatheter mitral interventions. Advanced imaging is essential to aid in the diagnosis and determination of the mechanism of mitral regurgitation. In addition, they are integral to annular sizing, determination of the suitability of patient anatomy for specific devices and increasingly important in the determination of the risk of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and providing appropriate patient-specific fluoroscopic angulation in advance of the procedure.
