Abstract

Candidacy for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement utilizing newer valve platforms is aided by industry-driven fit analyses. We report augmentation of this decision-making process by visualization of 4-dimensional cine imaging of patient-specific right ventricular outflow tract anatomy and a virtual valve model within a virtual reality platform.
