Echocardiography
February 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, West China Hospital Sichuan University, Sichuan, China.
Background: Routine radiofrequency catheter ablation relies on x-ray imaging, which may increase the risk of radiation exposure to patients. With the rapid development of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) technology, it provides a new guidance modality for radiofrequency catheter ablation and shows great potential for application in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF).
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of intracardiac echocardiography guided radiofrequency catheter ablation for the treatment of AF.

• This is a case report of an interscallop repair of the MV using TEER. • 3D ICE and 3D TEE can show MV pathology not assessable by 2D or biplane imaging. • The use of MPR imaging can guide novel repairs of the MV.

Background: Earlier studies have documented the risk for sinoatrial node injury and phrenic nerve paralysis as complications following radiofrequency catheter ablation for electrical isolation of the superior vena cava (SVCI).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of SVCI in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing pulsed field ablation (PFA) METHODS: Six hundred sixteen consecutive patients undergoing PFA for pulmonary vein isolation plus SVCI were included in this multicenter analysis. Superior vena cava (SVC) ablation was performed under the continuous guidance of intracardiac echocardiography.

An 80-year-old woman with a history of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma presented to the emergency department with exertional dyspnea and lower limb edema. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a large extracardiac mass invading the right atrium. A diagnostic transcatheter endomyocardial biopsy guided by intracardiac echocardiography was performed.
