Summary: | Advances in cardiovascular interventional techniques have enabled percutaneous treatment for a wide spectrum of non-coronary cardiovascular diseases, also known as ‘structural heart diseases (SHD)’. As these therapies are performed without an open-heart surgery, the use of echocardiography is crucial for detailed visualisation of cardiac anatomy, and to provide guidance for optimal success of these catheter-based interventions. This review will describe the key role of the echocardiographic techniques and imaging protocols that are currently used in different catheter-based SHD interventions. |
