Abstract

Cardiac ultrasound has evolved rapidly over the past 20 years. In addition to its powerful diagnostic role, echocardiography has expanded into what has been termed interventional echocardiography, that is, the use of echocardiography to guide and monitor more invasive techniques, such as pericardiocentesis, cardiac surgery, endomyocardial biopsy, transseptal puncture, transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects, balloon and blade atrial septostomy, positioning of radio frequency ablation catheters, implantation of ventricular assist devices, and guidance of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV).
