Popis: Background With the increased application of structural heart intervention techniques, there is concern over increasing radiation dose, especially during lengthy procedures. Methods We compared data from 91 consecutive single-vessel percutaneous coronary interventions, 69 patent foramen ovale closures, 25 atrial septal defect closures, 49 percutaneous transluminal mitral valvuloplasties, 57 balloon aortic valvuloplasties, 53 trans-catheter aortic valve implantations (TAVI), 21 left atrial appendage occlusions and 7 MitraClip ® procedures. Results The following fluoroscopy times and dose-area product (median, interquartile range) were recorded: patent foramen ovale closure (7.8, 5.3-10.9minutes; 16.9, 7.5-30.6 Gycm 2 ), atrial septal defect closure (10.1, 7.3-13minutes; 15.5, 11.6-30.5 Gycm 2 ), percutaneous transluminal mitral valvuloplasty (14.3, 11.4-24.2minutes; 37.4, 19.8-87.0 Gycm 2 ), balloon aortic valvuloplasty (8.4, 5.2-13.2minutes; 19.8, 10.2-30.0 Gycm 2 ), Edwards Sapien™ TAVI (24.0, 19.3-34.4minutes; 86.4, 64.0-111.4 Gycm 2 ), Medtronic CoreValve ® TAVI (19.4, 15.0-26.0minutes; 101.9, 52.6-143.2 Gycm 2 ), left atrial appendage occlusion (18.5, 15.7-29.1minutes; 84.1, 36.4-140.0 Gycm 2 ), Mitraclip ® procedures (37.2, 14.2-59.9minutes; 89.1, 26.2-118.7 Gycm 2 ), coronary angiography and single vessel percutaneous coronary intervention (6.6, 5.1-11.0minutes; 62.5, 37.0-95.8 Gycm 2 ). Conclusion For structural heart interventions, dose-area product was not significantly greater than for coronary angiography with single-vessel percutaneous coronary artery intervention. This should be reassuring to patients and staff attending prolonged structural heart interventions.
