Interventional echocardiography is an emerging field with growing interest and applications as therapeutic procedures to address structural heart disease (SHD) continue to evolve and expand. As opposed to coronary interventions, in which the course of catheter movement is constrained within the artery, percutaneous procedures for SHD entail free catheter movement within the heart and great vessels. Imaging guidance in 3-dimensional space is therefore of critical importance to the successful performance of these procedures. The complexity of these procedures requires an imager with a complete knowledge of ultrasound instrumentation and technique, an in-depth knowledge of cardiac anatomy, understanding of the procedural steps involved, and an awareness of potential complications that may arise perioperatively. Echocardiography, especially 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography, plays a crucial role in every aspect of percutaneous interventions, from patient selection to final device assessment. This review will focus on the role of echocardiography and the echocardiographer with respect to transcatheter guidance for the spectrum of SHD interventions that have gained worldwide application in recent years.
