Abstract

Technological advancements in cardiology have been proceeding at a rapid pace over the past two decades. Many surgical procedures can now be performed using a percutaneous approach. Echocardiography plays an important role in these procedures for selecting the appropriate patients, monitoring the procedure to avoid complications, assessing the result, and detecting long-term complications. These procedures can vary from a relatively straightforward insertion of pacemaker leads to the implantation of a left ventricular assist device. A good understanding of the impact of these intracardiac devices on cardiac structure and function is a prerequisite in the assessment of patients who have undergone these procedures.
