ESCR Webinar 04 – Level Basic
Date: Wednesday, October 16, 2019, at 18:00 CET
Title: “Case based valvular Radiology“
Moderator: Dr. Tilman Emrich, Mainz/DE
"CT before and after minimal invasive valvular repair"
Dr. Rodrigo Salgado, Antwerp/BE
"MR in valvular heart disease"
Prof. Karl-Friedrich Kreitner, Mainz/DE
Lecture 1 - details
Description
Minimal invasive valvular repair techniques are currently in the spotlight, providing new therapeutic options especially in patients with aortic valve stenosis. As these procedures become more common, its is important for the radiologist to be familiar with the pre-procedural required information to guide patient eligibility and device sizing, as well as with the post-procedural features of the commonly used devices to distinguish between normal and abnormal findings.
Learning Objectives
• To understand the need for pre-operative imaging in minimal invasive valvular repair.
• To understand the different required measurements and the pitfalls in obtaining them
• To be able to interpret post-procedural image studies and detect complications

About the speaker
Rodrigo Salgado performed his medical studies at the University of Antwerp graduating in 2000, and from 2000 to 2005 fulfilled his radiology residency at the Antwerp University Hospital including a fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, USA. Afterwards he achieved in 2005 a staff position at the radiology department of the University Hospital Antwerp, chaired by prof. dr. P.M. Parizel. During the following decade, and presently continuing, he specialized in non-invasive cardiovascular imaging using CT and MR. Currently, he’s a consultant radiologist at the Antwerp University Hospital, and a staff member at Heilig Hart Hospital Lier.
Dr. Salgado is an active member of the Belgian Society of Radiology (BSR), the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and the European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR). He is currently the president-elect of the non-invasive cardiovascular imaging section of the BSR and member of the executive board of the ESCR, in which he is also chair of the Communication and New Media committee. He is member of the ECR 2018, 2019 and 2020 cardiac scientific subcommittees for cardiac imaging, and chair of this committee for ECR 2021. He serves on the scientific editorial board of Insights into Imaging and the International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, and is reviewer for numerous other scientific journals. Currently, he is section editor for Eurorad – cardiovascular imaging. In the past, he has been member of both the executive and scientific board of the BSR. He is author and co-author of many international peer-reviewed scientific publications and book chapters, and is one of the main authors of the recently published ESCR TAVI consensus document.
Finally, he is congress president of the ESCR 2019 annual meeting.
Lecture 2 - details
Description
Although ischemic heart disease remains the leading cause of cardiac-related morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries, a growing number of mainly elderly patients will experience a problem of valvular heart disease (VHD). Doppler-echocardiography is the most popular imaging modality used in the evaluation of this disease entity. It encompasses, however, some non-negligible constraints which may hamper the quality and thus the interpretation of the exam. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is already considered an established diagnostic method for studying ventricular dimensions, function and mass. With improvement of MRI soft- and hardware, the assessment of cardiac valve function has also turned out to be fast, accurate and reproducible. This webinar demonstrates – based on selected cases – the usefulness of MRI in the diagnosis and management of VHD.
Learning Objectives
• To discuss basic examination techniques for assessment of cardiac valvular function.
• To demonstrate the usefulness of MRI in the assessment of VHD using a multiparametric examination protocol.
Teaser
• 69 year old female was referred for replacement of the ascending aorta due to an aneurysm.
• Preoperatively, the cardiac surgeon asked if replacement of the aortic valve was necessary.
