Why the study?
Thrombus formation is a risk associated with radiofrequency ablation despite the use of adequate anticoagulants.
Continuous intracardiac echocardiography monitoring during radiofrequency ablation can promptly detect procedure-related thrombus formation, allowing for successful aspiration and potential prevention of embolic complications.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support ICE for detecting occult thrombi during ablation; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change practice.
Tonegawa‐Kuji et al. (2021) studied this question.
