Monitoring and guiding cardiac interventions and surgery

  • Chapter
Three-dimensional Echocardiography

Abstract

Over the last decade, a number of surgical and catheter-based therapeutic approaches in cardiology have allowed less invasive treatment with a better prognosis even in complex cases. These techniques include electrophysiological examination and ablation, surgical and transcatheter mitral valve reconstruction as well as transfemoral aortic valve implantation and atrial appendage as well as septal defect closure.
