[Article in German]
F Kreidel et al. Herz. 2013 Aug.

Abstract

Percutaneous cardiac valve interventions have significantly extended the therapeutic options for patients with diseased cardiac valves. Technical miniaturization and major advancements in cardiac imaging techniques are the cornerstones of this successful development. Regarding mitral valve interventions periprocedural echocardiography in particular is of uttermost importance. This review describes the state of the art echocardiographic imaging techniques focusing on the clinically established mitral valve interventions: MitraClip® implantation, percutaneous closure of periprosthetic leaks and mitral balloon valvuloplasty.
