Key result
Intracardiac echocardiography offers advantages over transoesophageal echocardiography for guiding percutaneous procedures, including eliminating general anesthesia and providing clearer imaging.
Why the study?
Does intracardiac echocardiography improve procedural outcomes compared to transoesophageal echocardiography in patients undergoing percutaneous interventional procedures?

May favor ICE to avoid general anesthesia in select procedures; leaves open randomized outcome comparisons versus TEE.
Does intracardiac echocardiography improve procedural outcomes compared to transoesophageal echocardiography in patients undergoing percutaneous interventional procedures?
ICE offers significant procedural advantages over TEE for guiding structural and electrophysiological interventions, despite higher initial catheter costs.
Asrress et al. (2009) conducted a review in Interatrial septal abnormalities. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) vs. Transoesophageal echocardiography was evaluated. Intracardiac echocardiography offers advantages over transoesophageal echocardiography for guiding percutaneous procedures, including eliminating general anesthesia and providing clearer imaging.
