Rotational angiography and 3D overlay in transcatheter congenital interventions

摘要

Advances in periprocedural imaging have facilitated increasingly challenging structural interventions in patients with congenital heart disease. The advent of commercially available rotational angiography and 3D fluoroscopic overlay systems in the catheterization laboratory is sparking an imaging revolution. Congenital heart disease represents a heterogeneous group of native and surgically palliated anatomic abnormalities that can be highly complex and are often difficult to comprehend. Advances in imaging modalities will allow operators to plan and perform the most challenging interventional procedures with 3D imaging guidance. This article reviews the current and potential uses of such imaging modalities in the catheterization laboratory for patients with congenital heart disease.
