ABSTRACT

The progressive development of percutaneous cardiac intervention has meant that the risk increases as there are more and more complex procedures that were not performed and involving longer fluoroscopy as are the percutaneous aortic valve implantation devices on the mitral valve implant prosthesis in thoracic or abdominal aorta. The main concept of radiation protection were revised, the current context of interventional cardiology in the world and in Latin America in amounts of procedures as well as the cumulative doses can produce deterministic effects and NDR accepted worldwide.
