Preclinical Experience Using 4D Intracardiac Echocardiography to Guide Cardiac Electrophysiology Procedures.

Introduction: Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is an essential imaging modality for electrophysiology procedures, allowing intraprocedural monitoring, real-time catheter manipulation guidance, and visualization of complex anatomic structures. Four-dimentional (4D) ICE is the next stage in the evolution of the technology, permitting 360° rotation of the imaging plane, simultaneous multiplanar imaging, and volumetric acquisition, similar to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In this study, we report our experience with a novel 4D ICE catheter (NuVision, Biosense Webster) in structural electrophysiology procedures and difficult ventricular ablations in a swine preclinical model.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on evaluating the reliability of measuring aortic valve area (AVA) using 3D transesophageal echocardiography compared to other methods, specifically the continuity equation (CE).
- It involved 119 patients with varying severity of aortic stenosis and utilized different approaches: the standard CE, a modified CE using 3D reconstruction, and direct 3D measurement.
- Results showed that while the 3D measurements (AVA-3D) were significantly higher than standard and modified CE methods, in patients with smaller AVAs, the differences were negligible, indicating that the new method aligns well with traditional measurements and is reliable for clinical use.
Comparison of three echo-guidance techniques in percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure for stroke prevention: Conventional transoesophageal, microprobe transoesophageal and intracardiac echocardiography.

Background: Recent randomized trials have demonstrated a consistent reduction in recurrent stroke after percutaneous transcatheter patent foramen ovale closure versus medical therapy in patients with recent cryptogenic stroke.
Aim: To compare the safety and efficacy of intracardiac echocardiography-guided and microprobe transoesophageal echocardiography-guided patent foramen ovale closure under local anaesthesia with transoesophageal echocardiography-guided patent foramen ovale closure under general anaesthesia.
Methods: This prospective observational single-centre study included 194 consecutive patients scheduled for patent foramen ovale closure for secondary prevention of stroke from February 2018 to December 2019.
Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography in Percutaneous Catheter-Based Cardiac Interventions.

Cardiac structural and valve interventions have remained surgical procedures for several decades. The ability to directly visualize the region of interest during surgery made imaging of these structures pre- and postsurgery a secondary tool to compliment surgical visualization. The last two decades, however, have seen rapid advances in catheter-based percutaneous structural heart interventions (SHIs).

Background: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) conventional multiplane approach (MPA) and the newly proposed commissural-biplane approach (CBA) are the recommended algorithms for identifying the affected mitral valve (MV) segments in the setting of mitral regurgitation. To date, there are no reports to address the diagnostic performance of CBA. In this study we aim to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of CBA and MPA in comparison with three-dimensional echocardiographic findings in patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
