To correctly identify these advanced cardiac devices. To understand indications for these advanced cardiac devices and how they are placed. To recognize complications and adnormal positioning of these advanced cardiac devices.

The following devices will be discussed: Nonvalvular structural devices: Amplatzer PFO/ASD closure device Starflex PFO/ASD closure device Watchman left atrial appendage occluder Lariat left atrial appendage closure device Heartnet ventricular restraint device Cardiac conduction and monitoring: MRI conditional pacemaker Left atrial pressure sensor Implantable loop recorder LifeVest wearable defibrillator Cardiac assist devices: Intraaortic ballon pump Thoratech IVAD Heartmate II LVAD Hearware LVAD Impella device Valvular devices: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Mitral valve-in-valve MitraClip device For each device the following topics will be discussed or demonstrated using imaging: Indications for placement. How the device is placed. Cine clip of placement will be included for devices which are placed using imaging guidance. Case(s) of the device normally positioned. Case(s) of the device malpositioned, when available.
