Echocardiography in percutaneous aortic valve replacement
- Kardiochirurgická klinika FN a LF UK Hradec Králové
Percutaneous aortic valve implantation (PAVI) is being performed in the Czech Republic since December 2008. High-quality echocardiographic
diagnostics before and during procedure is conditio sine qua non for successful result of this challenging valve intervention.
Author addresses specific role of echocardiography in PAVI-program, especially as far as concerns morfological aortic valve criteria in
patient selection, principles of periprocedural monitoring and complication detection possibilities.
Keywords: echocardiography, percutaneous aortic valve implantation, periprocedural monitoring, complication detection
