Abstract

Noninvasive cardiac imaging has played a critical part in the evaluation, monitoring, and follow-up of structural heart disease. This review will highlight the role of cardiac computed tomography, fluoroscopy, and fusion imaging in guiding transcatheter aortic valve replacement and other percutaneous strategies used to diagnose and treat complex structural heart complications.
