Can intracardiac echocardiography completely replace transesophageal echocardiography to guide left atrial appendage closure?—The comparisons of intracardiac echocardiography with transesophageal echocardiography

Abstract: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an effective means of preventing ischemic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the primary imaging technique to guide LAAC. Its shortcomings, namely the use of general anesthesia and tracheal intubation, inevitably increase procedural risks. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), a novel imaging modality for guiding LAAC, has proven more advantageous over TEE due to use of local anesthesia, shortened procedural … Show more

“…In step with the rapid growth of 3D technology in recent decades, 3D TEE has become widely available for calculating the dimensions of the LAA and the volume‐exported ejection fractions 44,45 . So far, despite the potential risks associated with TEE‐guided LAAC, TEE remains the leading method of intraoperative imaging during the procedure in most centers 46 …”

“…With its help, healthcare professionals can obtain detailed and accurate images of the cardiac and surrounding structures [5][6][7] . While transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) may provide sufficient ultrasound imaging, its practical value is limited by the need for general anesthesia, the need for tracheal intubation to protect the airway, the possibility of esophageal perforation, and other factors [8][9][10] . As a novel diagnostic technology of clinical medicine, the monitoring and imaging function in real-time of ICE may give sharper imaging, faster treatment durations, and a lower radiation dosage to the patient while retaining the financial cost equal to TEE [11][12][13] .…”
