Abstract
A system and method of treatment of mitral valve insufficiency using an implantable medical device is described. The system uses a C-arm X-ray device configured to produce computed-tomographic (CT)-like images, and to superimpose the CT-like images on a fluoroscopic image taken with the same X-ray device as a part of the treatment procedure. The fluoroscopic images are used to guide a catheter in the patient so as to place the medical device in a proper position. The efficacy of the procedure may be assessed using a non-invasive or minimally invasive acoustic imaging technique.
