Key result
Real-time fusion of transesophageal echocardiography with fluoroscopy facilitates structural heart disease interventions, though limited evidence exists regarding its impact on safety and clinical outcomes.
Real-time fusion imaging combining TEE and fluoroscopy facilitates spatial orientation and communication during complex structural heart interventions, though robust evidence on clinical outcomes is still needed.

Only TEE-fluoroscopy enables real-time fusion in SHD interventions; leaves open development of broader dynamic multi-modality solutions.
Biaggi et al. (2015) conducted a review in Structural heart disease. Fusion imaging (echocardiography and fluoroscopy/CT) vs. Standard imaging was evaluated. Real-time fusion of transesophageal echocardiography with fluoroscopy facilitates structural heart disease interventions, though limited evidence exists regarding its impact on safety and clinical outcomes.
