Supports development of fused imaging for procedural guidance; leaves open clinical efficacy pending prospective validation.
Real-time integration of 3-D echocardiography and X-ray fluoroscopy is technically feasible and accurate, offering a potential adjunct for guiding interventional cardiac procedures.
Arujuna et al. (2014) studied Atrial fibrillation and severe aortic stenosis (n=11). Real-time integration of 3-D echocardiography and X-ray fluoroscopy was evaluated on Median alignment error in clinical cases. Real-time integration of 3-D echocardiography and X-ray fluoroscopy was successfully achieved in all 11 clinical cases with a median alignment error of 2.4 mm, confirming technical feasibility.
