| Introduction |
|---|
Clinical investigational procedures have begun at several centers. The chief limitation to clinical translation, at present, appears to be the availability of clinical-grade catheter devices. This brief review will survey interventional cardiovascular imaging, treatment, and patient handling considerations; unique iCMR catheter design requirements; proof-of-concept animal and clinical experiments conducted to date; and novel applications we can expect in the near future.
