Abstract
Percutaneous valvular interventions have become a valid option in the treatment of valvular heart disease (VHD) for patients with prohibited surgical risk and multiple comorbidities. Multimodality imaging plays an increasingly central role in the evaluation of these interventions in which precise guidance for appropriate and accurate positioning of the device is mandatory. This review will discuss the role of these imaging modalities in patient selection and the pre-procedural assessment of the valve, intra-procedural guidance and, ultimately, result evaluation.
