| description | The majority of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) who have undergone open heart surgery during childhood are possible candidates for additional transcatheter or surgical interventions. One fifth of these conditions usually involve the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement (PPVR) has been widely established as an alternative, less invasive option to surgical pulmonary valve replacement (SPVR). The variability of RVOT anatomy and size, the relative course of the coronary arteries, and the anatomy of the pulmonary artery branches are factors that determine the success of the intervention and the complication rates. Careful and reliable pre-interventional imaging warrants the selection of suitable candidates and minimizes the risk of complications. 2D and 3D fluoroscopy have been extensively used during pre- and peri-interventional assessment. Established imaging techniques such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography (CT) and newer techniques such as fusion imaging have proved to be efficient and reliable tools during pre-procedural planning in patients assessed for PPVR. |
