Currently catheters used in heart catheterization procedures are guided throughout the heart chambers and blood vessels by pictures taken by x-rays. This technology exposes patients to radiation. With this study protocol the investigators will use MRI technology to take real-time pictures to navigate catheters throughout heart chambers. MRI uses electromagnetic energy; therefore, it does not expose participants to radiation energy.

Test the feasibility of navigating catheters into right heart structures using real-time MRI
Timeframe: At the end of each catheterization procedure through study completion,up to 5 years.
