What does the interventionist need to know from the imager?
In collaboration with the PCR Tricuspid Focus Group
Summary
Take inspiration from the discussions on the case of a 78-year-old patient with HTN, HLD, and AF, presenting with symptomatic heart failure, or that of a 59-year-old female patient, former smoker, with HTN, DM, and persistent AF, who had been treated for breast carcinoma and post-chemotherapy dilative cardiomyopathy, to understand the predominant role of imaging in tricuspid valve interventions.
Learning Objectives
- To understand the imaging criteria that allow patient selection for specific tricuspid valve procedures
- To learn how to use 3D anatomical orientation during tricuspid valve interventions and obtain the maximum information at each stage of the procedure
- To appreciate how intracardiac echocardiography can facilitate specific procedural steps
