Abstract
Percutaneous interventions aimed at addressing congenital and structural heart disease
are simultaneously becoming more common and more complex as time progresses. An increasing
number of heart defects that had previously required open heart surgery can now be
successfully addressed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Adequate preprocedural
preparation for these novel, complex procedures is critical to ensure their success.
Diagnostic data can be collected before the intervention and displayed in multiple
formats during the procedure. Advanced cardiac imaging, including cardiac magnetic
resonance and cardiac computed tomography form the basis of this preparatory information.
Novel methods of displaying these images are becoming more widespread and more useful,
including 3-D printed models, 3-D digital models displayed on a virtual or augmented
reality system and 3-D digital models overlaid onto a fluoroscopy system. In this
review we summarize these state-of-the-art technologies and how they are able to help
interventional cardiologists push the boundaries of what is possible in the cardiac
catheterization laboratory.
Résumé
Au fil du temps, les interventions percutanées visant à corriger les problèmes cardiaques
congénitaux et structurels augmentent tant en fréquence qu’en complexité. En effet,
un nombre de plus en plus important de malformations cardiaques congénitales qui nécessitaient
autrefois une chirurgie à cœur ouvert peuvent désormais être traitées avec succès
en laboratoire de cathétérisme cardiaque. Il est toutefois essentiel de bien préparer
ces interventions novatrices et complexes pour en assurer le succès. Des données diagnostiques
peuvent notamment être recueillies avant l’intervention pour ensuite être visualisées,
sous divers formats, avant et pendant l’intervention. Les techniques d’imagerie cardiaque
de pointe, notamment la résonance magnétique cardiaque et la tomodensitométrie cardiaque
constituent la base de cette information préparatoire. De nouvelles méthodes de visualisation
de ces images, dont les modèles imprimés en 3D, les modèles numériques en 3D s’affichant
sur un système virtuel ou de réalité augmentée de même que les modèles numériques
en 3D superposés sous fluoroscopie, sont de plus en plus utilisées. Dans cet article,
nous faisons le point sur ces technologies de pointe et la façon dont elles aident
les cardiologues interventionnels à repousser les limites du possible au laboratoire
de cathétérisme cardiaque.
