Performing transcatheter valve interventions requires a thorough knowledge of right heart imaging. Integration of chamber views across the spectrum of imaging modalities (i.e., multislice computed tomography, fluoroscopy, and echocardiography) can facilitate complex transcatheter interventions. Optimal fluoroscopic viewing angles for guiding interventional procedures can be obtained using preprocedural multislice computed tomography scans. The present manuscript describes the fluoroscopic viewing angles necessary, when using multislice computed tomography, to appreciate heart chamber anatomy and their relationship to echocardiography.

Abstract

Performing transcatheter valve interventions requires a thorough knowledge of right heart imaging. Integration of chamber views across the spectrum of imaging modalities (i.e., multislice computed tomography, fluoroscopy, and echocardiography) can facilitate complex transcatheter interventions. Optimal fluoroscopic viewing angles for guiding interventional procedures can be obtained using preprocedural multislice computed tomography scans. The present manuscript describes the fluoroscopic viewing angles necessary, when using multislice computed tomography, to appreciate heart chamber anatomy and their relationship to echocardiography.
