Overview

ICE may facilitate ASD/PFO closure without general anesthesia; case series leaves open comparative safety versus TEE.

Study Design

Type

Observational (n=201)

Structured PICO

Does intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) safely and effectively guide percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale?

P
Population
201 patients undergoing percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD, n=139) or patent foramen ovale (PFO, n=62), mean age 36.6 ± 19.3 years, 64.2% female.
I
Intervention
Percutaneous closure of ASD or PFO guided by intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) using an ultrasound catheter intravenously inserted in the right heart chambers, utilizing Occlutech Figulla prostheses.
O
Outcome
Success and complication rates of the proceduresafety

Intracardiac echocardiography is a safe and effective alternative to transesophageal echocardiography for guiding percutaneous closure of ASD and PFO, eliminating the need for general anesthesia.

Oliveira et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) (n=201). Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) guided percutaneous closure was evaluated on Success and complication rates of the procedure. Intracardiac echocardiography-guided percutaneous closure of ASD and PFO was 100% successful in 201 procedures, with minor complications including transient supraventricular tachycardia in 2.0%.
