Pdf Summary

The study guide for Test 210160 focuses on the pre- and postprocedure imaging of Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Implantation (TPVI). The document does not provide the answers but lists multiple-choice questions related to imaging and procedural considerations in TPVI.<br /><br />1. The first balloon-expandable pulmonary valve to receive FDA approval for treating dysfunctional right ventricle (RV)–pulmonary artery (PA) conduit is queried. Options include:<br />   - a. Harmony<br />   - b. Melody<br />   - c. Sapien 3<br />   - d. Sapien XT<br /><br />2. It asks which imaging technique is the most accurate for determining the suitability of transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR), specifically concerning RV volume, RV function, and pulmonary regurgitation. The choices are:<br />   - a. Coronary angiography<br />   - b. Echocardiography<br />   - c. CT<br />   - d. MRI<br /><br />3. The least favorable right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) shape for traditional TPVR devices like the Melody valve is addressed, with options:<br />   - a. Pyramidal<br />   - b. Inverted pyramid<br />   - c. Fusiform<br />   - d. Concave<br /><br />4. An important contraindication for TPVR is identified, including options such as:<br />   - a. Repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)<br />   - b. Repaired double-outlet RV<br />   - c. Proximity of the coronary arteries to the RVOT<br />   - d. Proximity of the left atrium to the RVOT<br /><br />5. The definitive imaging technique for evaluating potential coronary artery compression in TPVR is queried, with the options:<br />   - a. Procedural coronary angiography<br />   - b. Procedural transesophageal echocardiography<br />   - c. Preprocedure CT<br />   - d. Preprocedure MRI<br /><br />To earn SA-CME credits, participants need to complete an online test based on this study guide at rsna.org/learning-center-rg.
