ICE may identify SP ablation sites near tricuspid valve; leaves open whether adjunctive use improves outcomes versus fluoroscopy in AVNRT.
Does adjunctive intracardiac echocardiography guide successful slow pathway ablation in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia?
Intracardiac echocardiography can reliably identify the anatomic site for successful slow pathway ablation at the tricuspid valve's insertion into the AV muscular septum.
Fisher et al. (1997) studied this question.
