A prospective comparison of cardiac imaging using intracardiac echocardiography with transesophageal echocardiography in patients with atrial fibrillation: the intracardiac echocardiography guided cardioversion helps interventional procedures study.
BACKGROUND The Intracardiac Echocardiography Guided Cardioversion Helps Interventional Procedures study evaluated the concordance of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with AF undergoing right heart catheterization underwent left atrium (LA) and interatrial septal (IAS) imaging...
متن کاملUsefulness of transesophageal echocardiography in assessment of aortic dissection.
BACKGROUND The value of transesophageal echocardiography in the assessment of patients with aortic dissection was studied. METHODS AND RESULTS Group 1 (34 patients) represented all patients studied at our institution with this technique in whom aortic dissection was proven by aortography, surgery, or autopsy. Group 2 (27 patients) represented all patients studied with this technique at our in...
متن کاملComparison of intracardiac echocardiography versus transesophageal echocardiography guidance for percutaneous transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect.
Transcatheter closure of interatrial septal defects is guided by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), which requires general anesthesia in most cases. Using a new intracardiac echocardiographic (ICE) catheter may avoid endotracheal and esophageal intubation while using only local anesthesia. Forty-two patients underwent transcatheter interatrial septal defect closure; half of them underwent ...
متن کاملClinical applications of intracardiac echocardiography in interventional procedures.
Correspondence to: Dr Jeroen J Bax, Department of Cardiology, Leiden University Medical Center, Albinusdreef 2, 2333 ZA Leiden, The Netherlands; [email protected] _________________________ A ccurate knowledge of the anatomy of intracardiac structures is essential for the efficiency and safety of performing interventional procedures. Although fluoroscopy is an important aid while advancing cathete...
متن کاملThe Evolving Utility Of Intracardiac Echocardiography In Cardiac Procedures.
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has gained increasing use in electrophysiology due to the need to visualize key anatomic structures. Precise guidance for transseptal puncture and visualization of the pulmonary veins are common essential uses for ICE, but many operators adept at ICE imaging have developed additional and specific uses. With heavy use of ICE guidance, electrophysiologists demo...
