Multimodality 3-dimensional image integration for congenital cardiac catheterization

Thomas E Fagan et al. Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J. 2014 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

Cardiac catheterization procedures for patients with congenital and structural heart disease are becoming more complex. New imaging strategies involving integration of 3-dimensional images from rotational angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are employed to facilitate these procedures. We discuss the current use of these new 3D imaging technologies and their advantages and challenges when used to guide complex diagnostic and interventional catheterization procedures in patients with congenital heart disease.

Keywords: 3-dimensional rotational angiography; 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography; 3D TEE; 3DRA; CT roadmap; EchoNavigator; HeartNavigator; MRI roadmap; congenital heart disease; rotational angiography; structural heart disease.
