Abstract
Significant advancements are being made in the field of interventions for structural heart diseases, driven by the expansion of guideline-directed indications and an increasing patient population requiring intervention or re-intervention for valvular heart disease. Precise diagnosis, optimum timing of intervention, and optimal device selection are essential for successful management. This thesis emphasizes the importance of adopting multimodality imaging, including including echocardiography, angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cardiac computed tomography (CT), in planning, guiding, and evaluating structural heart interventions. These imaging approaches are crucial for patient selection, procedural planning, and post-procedural outcomes assessment.
