Intracardiac echocardiography for percutaneous mitral valve repair in a swine model.
J Am Soc Echocardiogr
February 2006
Background: High-quality live imaging assessment of cardiac valves and cardiac anatomy is crucial for the success of percutaneous catheter-based mitral valve (MV) repair techniques. We examined the use of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) in providing online ICE images necessary for successful perctunaneous MV repair by Alfieri stitch technique-based percutaneous edge-to-edge device in a swine model.
Methods: ICE was performed in 20 healthy adult pigs (90 +/- 8 kg, mean +/- SEM).
