Abstract

Advanced intra-procedural imaging techniques have been integral to technical and procedural success transcatheter devices. A novel leaflet approximation therapy, the PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) has demonstrated high procedural success, acceptable safety, and significant clinical improvement in patients with severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and has CE mark approval in Europe with pivotal trials underway in the USA. This review outlines the pre-procedural imaging views and advanced transoesophageal imaging protocols both mitral and tricuspid valve device implantation.

Keywords: mitral regurgitation; transcatheter repair; tricuspid regurgitation.
