Summary
Historically, the cardiac catheterization laboratory has been used for blood sampling, contrast-enhanced imaging and intravascular pressure measurement to provide diagnostic and prognostic information and to guide surgical intervention. In recent years, technological advancements have made less invasive therapies feasible and driven tremendous growth in percutaneous procedures. While this now encompasses a wide range of cardiovascular interventions, this chapter will focus on percutaneous therapies for structural heart disease, where the anaesthetist is most likely to be involved.
