Cutting edge imaging solutions for cardiac procedures

The biggest growth area for cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists are procedures that treat structural and valvular heart disease. These include transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), mitral heart valve, left atrial apendix closure, para valular leak repair, septal defect closure and others. The number of TAVI procedures, in particular, is growing rapidly with the recent introduction of transcatheter valve devices in most of Europe.
