Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty
Publication date: July 2018 Source:Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Volume 7, Issue 3 Author(s): Jonathan J. Passeri, Jacob P. Dal-BiancoTeaser Rheumatic mitral stenosis remains a common disease in the developing world. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty is an important therapy for rheumatic mitral stenosis. Echocardiography plays a critical role in the diagnosis of rheumatic mitral stenosis and the assessment of suitability for and guidance of percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty.

Identification and Quantification of Degenerative and Functional Mitral Regurgitation for Patient Selection for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair
Publication date: July 2018 Source:Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Volume 7, Issue 3 Author(s): Tiffany Chen, Victor A. Ferrari, Frank E. SilvestryTeaser Chronic mitral regurgitation (MR), whether due to valve degeneration or secondary to myocardial disease, affects an increasing proportion of the aging population. Percutaneous mitral valve interventions, including edge-to-edge repair, are emerging as feasible and effective therapy for patients with severe MR at high or prohibitive surgical risk. Imaging with echocardiography is crucial for patient selection by evaluating mitral anatomy, the mechanism of dysfunctio...

Multimodality Imaging of the Tricuspid Valve for Assessment and Guidance of Transcatheter Repair
Publication date: July 2018 Source:Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Volume 7, Issue 3 Author(s): Dee Dee Wang, James C. Lee, Brian P. O’Neill, William W. O’NeillTeaser The tricuspid valve is a highly complex structure, with variability in the number of leaflets and scallops. The mechanism of regurgitation is multifactorial in etiology, a mix of functional and degenerative tricuspid regurgitation. Iatrogenic tricuspid regurgitation is becoming more common secondary to pacemaker wire impingement of leaflet function and coaptation. Echocardiographic imaging of the tricuspid valve is particularly challenging given ...

Computed Tomography for Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Case Planning
Publication date: July 2018 Source:Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Volume 7, Issue 3 Author(s): Marvin H. Eng, Dee Dee WangTeaser Prevention of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation has been investigated in light of the high numbers of patients unable to be treated with effective anticoagulation. Therefore, endovascular mechanical occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) has been developed as a substitute for thromboprophylaxis. Initial clinical trials demonstrated high rates of procedural complications. Using computed tomography (CT), one can ascertain accurate left atrial appendage dimensions, appendage morph...

Myocardial Viability Testing to Guide Coronary Revascularization
Publication date: July 2018 Source:Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Volume 7, Issue 3 Author(s): Adrián I. Löffler, Christopher M. KramerTeaser Left ventricular dysfunction remains one of the best prognostic determinants of survival in patients with coronary artery disease. Revascularization has been shown to improve survival compared with medical therapy alone. Viability testing can help direct patients who will benefit the most from revascularization. Single-photon emission computed tomography, dobutamine stress echo, cardiac MRI, and PET imaging with F18-fluorodeoxyglucose are the most common modalities for asse...

Computed Tomography Fractional Flow Reserve to Guide Coronary Angiography and Intervention
Publication date: July 2018 Source:Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Volume 7, Issue 3 Author(s): Roshin C. Mathew, Matthew Gottbrecht, Michael SalernoTeaser Computed tomography angiography (CTA) has played a significant role in evaluation of coronary artery disease in the last decade and has demonstrated high sensitivity and negative predictive values. However, the positive predictive value as compared with invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is limited. CT-FFR has emerged as a disruptive noninvasive technology with higher specificity and diagnostic accuracy for detection of hemodynamically significant coronary l...
