Integration of MDCT and Fluoroscopy Using C-arm Computed Tomography to Guide Structural Cardiac Interventions in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory

摘要

ObjectivesOur study was aimed at evaluation of three-dimensional (3D)-CT overlay onto the catheterization laboratory fluoroscopy to guide structural cardiac interventions. Background: Current imaging for structural cardiac interventions (fluoroscopy, echocardiography) may not provide adequate guidance. The ability to integrate intracardiac 3D-CT imaging data in the cardiac catheterization laboratory may be beneficial, but has not yet been systematically studied.
