Why the study?
Structural valvular interventions have rapidly expanded with new devices and indications, making cardiac magnetic resonance and CT essential alongside echocardiography for pre-planning and post-procedural follow-up.
This review highlights the essential role of multimodality imaging, including echocardiography, CMR, and CT, in guiding and following up structural valvular interventions.
Supports multimodality imaging integration in expanding structural valve interventions; extends echocardiography-centric approaches with CMR and CT roles.
Structural valvular interventions have skyrocketed in the past decade with new devices becoming available and indications for patients who would previously have been deemed inoperable. Furthermore, while echocardiography is the main imaging tool and the first line for patient screening, cardiac magnetic resonance and CT are now essential tools in pre-planning and post-procedural follow-up. This review aims to address imaging modalities and their scope in aortic, mitral and tricuspid structural valvular interventions, including multimodality imaging. Pulmonary valve procedures, which are mostly carried out in patients with congenital problems, are discussed. This article presents a guide on individualised imaging approcahes on each of the available interventional procedures.
