Established Role

Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) certainly represents one of the major innovations of the last decades. Nowadays, 3DE has achieved a well-established role in many fields of cardiovascular diseases. This chapter discusses the contribution of 3DE towards a more precise quantitative assessment of cardiac chambers, in refining the diagnosis of structural heart diseases, and in guiding catheter-based structural heart disease procedures. The last section discusses the evolving role of a novel imaging system that specifically fuses fluoroscopy and two/three-dimensional echocardiography on one screen and represents a new exciting approach to image guidance for structural heart disease interventions.

Contrast Ventriculography

Percutaneous interventions in structural heart diseases are emerging rapidly. The variety of novel percutaneous treatment approaches and the increasing complexity of interventional procedures are associated with new challenges and demands on the imaging specialist. Standard catheterisation laboratory imaging modalities such as fluoroscopy and contrast ventriculography provide inadequate visualisation of the soft tissue or three-dimensional delineation of the heart. Consequently, additional advanced imaging technology is needed to diagnose and precisely identify structural heart diseases, to properly select patients for specific interventions and to support fluoroscopy in guiding procedures. As imaging expertise constitutes a key factor in the decision-making process and in the management of patients with structural heart disease, the sub-speciality of interventional imaging will likely develop out of an increased need for high-quality imaging.

Echocardiography is the imaging modality of choice for the assessment of patients with valvular heart disease. Echocardiographic advancements may have particular impact on the assessment and management of patients with valvular heart disease. This review will summarize the current literature on advancements, such as three-dimensional echocardiography, strain imaging, intracardiac echocardiography, and fusion imaging, in this patient population.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3D) is superior to two-dimensional echocardiography (2D) in determining mechanisms and site(s) of atrioventricular valve (AV valve) regurgitation in congenital heart disease. Background: Data is lacking on the utility of RT3D echo in congenital abnormalities of the AV valves. Methods: Between May 2006 and April 2007, 35 cases were prospectively studied prior to AV valve repair (20 left and 15 right) by 2D transthoracic (2DTTE), 2D transesophageal (2DTEE) and RT3D (Philips matrix array X 3–1 and X 7–2). Thirty one had significant and 4 mild regurgitation. Ages ranged from 24 days to 30 years (mean 13.8 years), weight 2.2 to 42kg (mean 26.1Kg). The 2DTTE and TEE were reviewed by a blinded observer. The 3D data were analyzed by a separate observer. In 28 patients surgical findings and regurgitation from saline testing were recorded by digital video and later analyzed by an experienced cardiac surgeon. The remaining 7 had a detailed description of the valve morphology documented immediately after surgery. Surgical findings were used as the gold standard for the assessment of structural abnormalities, with RT3D for the evaluation of regurgitation. Results: See table for structural abnormalities. For both the left and right AV valve, saline testing provided a poorer correlation with RT3D color Doppler jet location, in particular for regurgitant jets from the commmissures (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Transthoracic RT3D provides new and superior information as to the mechanisms and site(s) of AV valve failure in congenital heart disease. Concordance between 2D TTE, 2D TEE and 3D TTE compared to surgical findings
