Guiding Structural Interventions with 3D-Echo

Manual of 3D Echocardiography

Abstract

Percutaneous treatment of structural heart disease is increasing. Both fluoroscopy and transesofageal echocardiography are needed to guide the procedures. Three-dimensional echocardiography overcomes some limitations encountered with two-dimensional echocardiography before, during and after the procedure, to evaluate results and assess possible complications. In the present chapter the role of three-dimensional echocardiography in these procedures is reviewed.
