Key result
Cardiac imaging, particularly 3D transesophageal echocardiography, plays a crucial role in assessing left atrial appendage anatomy and guiding catheter-based closure procedures.
Trans-esophageal echocardiography, especially 3D-TEE, is essential for the safe and effective guidance of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

Supports 3D TEE integration in LAA closure workflows; leaves open prospective validation of outcome impact.
Marchandise et al. (2013) conducted a review in Non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Cardiac imaging (trans-esophageal echocardiography) was evaluated. Cardiac imaging, particularly 3D transesophageal echocardiography, plays a crucial role in assessing left atrial appendage anatomy and guiding catheter-based closure procedures.
