Introduction The prevalence of anomalous chordae in the aortic valve is rare in clinical practice. These anomalies, although uncommon, can have significant clinical implications, including valve insufficiency, arrhythmias and/or embolic risk. Accurate diagnosis and understanding of its pathophysiology are essential for adequate patient management. The uncommon nature of anomalous chordae in the aortic valve means that their presence can often go unnoticed or misdiagnosed. Medical literature presents few reports on these structures of probable embryonic origin, leaving gaps in clinical […]

What does the navigator system add to interventional procedures in the hybrid room? The usefulness of two-dimensional fixed projection fluoroscopic imaging in the characterization of soft tissues and complex cardiac anatomy is limited. Moreover, it is currently insufficient for cardiac structural interventionism. Including recent three-dimensional cardiac ultrasound imaging techniques is necessary to improve anatomical images and spatial resolution. Fusion or hybrid imaging using two-dimensional fluoroscopy in combination with static or dynamic imaging obtained from cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCT), cardiac […]
