Ultrasound imaging is frequently used for diagnostic purposes or guidance during procedures in the pediatric and congenital cardiac catheterization laboratory. As new imaging modalities emerged, many interventional cardiologists rather than noninvasive specialists are now performing the ultrasound imaging as part of the catheterization. The focus of this discussion will be to detail the technique and application of echocardiography by the interventional cardiologist.
