Abstract
was within ±100 of our valve deployment projection in 19 of 21 patients. The target line for optimal valve positioning was consistent in 17 of 21 patients with that determined by fluoroscopy, aortography and when compared to the transesophageal echocardiography guided positioning at the time of valve implantation. The prosthesis size recommended by the system was consistent with that recommended by standard transesophageal echocardiographic estimates. Post-deployment measurements of inflow, mid and outflow diameters of the valve prosthesis were consistently within ±1mm of standard fluoroscopic measurements. Conclusion: Initial experience with a real-time image acquisition and processing system Paieon suggests a potential role in transcatheter heart valve implantation. doi:10.1016/j.hlc.2010.06.944
