Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Echocardiographic imaging has firmly established itself as a cornerstone in the realm of transcatheter structural interventions. This Special Issue, “Echocardiographic Imaging in Transcatheter Structural Intervention: Current Practices and Future Directions”, seeks to illuminate the pivotal role of echocardiography in advancing patient care and procedural success in this dynamic field.
Echocardiography’s applications in transcatheter interventions are vast, encompassing the evaluation, guidance, and follow-up of procedures. Particularly, innovative approaches to the echocardiographic assessment and guidance of transcatheter treatments for valvular diseases, such as aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and tricuspid regurgitation, are of great interest. Moreover, the use of echocardiography in left atrial appendage closure, patent foramen ovale closure, and atrial septal defect repair underscores its indispensable role.
We invite our esteemed colleagues to contribute review and original articles that showcase cutting-edge echocardiographic techniques and innovations. Research that focuses on novel imaging applications, the integration of advanced technologies, and solutions to current challenges in the echocardiographic evaluation and guidance of structural heart interventions is particularly welcomed.
Your contributions will not only highlight current practices but will also set the stage for future advancements in echocardiographic imaging, ensuring continued improvement in patient outcomes and procedural success.
Warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Scipione Carerj
Dr. Fausto Pizzino
