Screening guidelines for imaging

This webinar presents updated screening guidelines for transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) imaging in structural heart interventions, focusing on comprehensive image acquisition protocols that facilitate accurate pre-interventional assessment of cardiac anatomy, mechanism, and severity of valvular dysfunction. Experts from leading hospitals will discuss recommended standards for advanced echocardiographers to optimize device candidacy evaluation and procedural planning.

  • Prof David Muller – Case in a box using imaging guidelines  – St Vincent’s Hospital 

  • Prof Greg Scalia – New TEE screening guidelines for structural intervention  – The Prince Charles Hospital

  • Pre-interventional TEE acquired by a advanced echocardiographer is standard practice.

  • • The current reference guideline focuses on the acquisition of pre-interventional TEE images that would help accurately identify the mechanism, severity and anatomy of structural/valvular dysfunction.

  • • Imaging protocols should be tailored to be comprehensive but focused on the abnormal structure identified and/or transcatheter intervention under consideration.

  • • Appropriate image acquisition will facilitate assessment of device candidacy, procedural planning and intra-procedural imaging guidance.
