Abstract
Purpose of Review
Transcatheter valve interventions require careful planning and rely heavily on multimodality imaging. In contrast to echocardiography and computed tomography cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) remains underused in clinical practice.
Recent Findings
CMR techniques such as multiplanar cine imaging unlimited by echo windows or ionizing radiation exposure, quantification of flow, and advanced tissue characterization have the potential to add valuable complimentary information to the evaluation of patients with valvular heart disease.
Summary
In this paper, we review the evidence for CMR to guide transcatheter valve interventions with a focus on practical applications for the interventionist.
