Abstract

In this thesis, challenges associated with interventions in cardiac disease are discussed. In the age of personalized medicine and informed decision making the role of adequate treatment planning is steadily increasing. Novel techniques and insights are developed at a rapid pace and contribute to improved procedural success rates and patient safety. Despite a multitude of advancements in recent years, peri-procedural challenges are still at large and need to be addressed. As a result, the importance of the multidisciplinary heart team is growing and cannot be exonerated from clinical practice. New techniques, multidisciplinary approaches, and computer-based simulations are developing and are inseparable from the future. New insights present with new challenges, but new challenges may also provide new insights.
