Abstract

Cardiac catheterization has contributed to the progresses made in the management of congenital heart diseases (CHD). Many procedures are feasible, from intracardiac shunts closure to trans-catheter valve replacement. An accurate imaging is mandatory to guide these procedures. Fluroroscopy is used first. Echocardiography is useful to guide intra-cardiac procedures. Myocardial resonance imaging and cardiac tomography scan are used to prepare procedures. Three-dimensional models can be reconstructed and printed from these datasets. Fusion imaging offers the opportunity to merge different imaging modalities. We aimed in this comprehensive review to provide an overview of the evolution of cardiac imaging tools used in catheterization laboratory for CHD.
