Valvular Disease
Aortic valve
Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) bears a dismal prognosis. The mean survival is 2.0 to 4.7 years after the onset of angina, 0.8 to 3.8 years after the onset of syncope and 0.5 to 2.8 years after the onset of congestive heart failure.1 Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is the mainstay of treatment for these patients.2 In the last decade transcatheter…

Over the last three decades numerous transcatheter therapies for the treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) have been developed.
Interatrial Septal Defect
Balloon atrial septostomy has been performed in patients with transposition physiology and in patients where egress of blood is needed from the left or the right atrium and in adults with pulmonary vascular disease where the creation of…

Atrial septal abnormalities are common congenital lesions remaining asymptomatic until adulthood in a great number of patients. The most frequent atrial septal defects in adults are ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO), both approachable by transcatheter closure using device implantation. The first non-surgical ASD closure was performed in 1975 by Mills and…

The morphology and function of the inter-atrial septum changes dramatically from the period of in utero development until its role in normal adult cardiac physiology is established. Its anatomical construction is complex and involves the eventual formation of a septum secundum, fossa ovalis and septum primum. In utero a mixture of deoxygenated blood from the foetus and oxygenated blood from the…

In the clinical management of patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD), accurate 3D evaluation of their morphological conditions is critical. 3D imaging should demonstrate the shape and spatial relation of great arteries, proximal branch pulmonary arteries and anomalous pulmonary venous or systemic connections, and eventually coronary artery course. 3D information on extra-cardiac…

Imaging guidance is of major importance for successful outcomes in the interventional treatment of structural, congenital and valvular heart disease. Cardiac transcatheter treatment of these diseases is a rapidly growing field and, as a result, there has been substantial progress in image-guidance technology.
During interventions, the major imaging focus is currently on echocardiography, which…
