Percutaneous cardioscopy enables direct visualization of the cardiac interior, contributing to the diagnosis of myocardial and valvular diseases and the evaluation of intracardiac therapies.
Percutaneous cardioscopy is an imaging technique used for the direct visualization of the cardiac interior to diagnose and evaluate treatments for various heart diseases.
Percutaneous endoscopy for direct visualization of the cardiac interior, i.e., percutaneous cardioscopy, was developed in Japan in 1980.
