Intracardiac Echocardiography to Guide Biopsy for Two Cases of Intracardiac Masses
Pathologic diagnosis of a cardiac mass is vital in determining the proper treatment modality. Open heart surgery or transesophageal echocardiography guided biopsy can be feasible methods to confirm the pathology. However, the former is highly invasive and both methods require general anesthesia. The introduction of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) can provide good anatomic information of hea...

Transthoracic Echocardiography : The transthoracic study was done by using Philips HD 11 XE Machine with a multifrequency S4-2 transducer. The echocardiographic examination included use of various views parasternal long axis view, parasternal short axis view, apical four chamber view, apical two chamber view and sub costal view if necessary. Thrombus, vegetation and tumor were d i a g n o s e d...
متن کاملThe use of intracardiac echocardiography and other intracardiac imaging tools to guide noncoronary cardiac interventions.
The limitations of standard fluoroscopy have led to the development of improved imaging techniques to guide noncoronary cardiac interventions. Imaging tools that are used in the interventional laboratory can be categorized as invasive and noninvasive. Noninvasive cardiac imaging tools include ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. These modalities can generate high-res...
متن کاملUse of intracardiac echocardiography to guide ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Intracardiac Echocardiography Ultrasound technology has progressed rapidly over the past several years, leading to significant miniaturization of transducer design. The original catheter-based transducers, known as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters, are high frequency (20 to 40 MHz) and are used to image the walls of coronary arteries and other small vessels. They contain a single ultra...
متن کاملIntracardiac echocardiography to guide myocardial biopsy of a primary cardiac tumour.
A 61-year-old man presented with recurrent ventricular tachycardia (left bundle branch block morphology, superior axis). Magnetic resonance imaging (Fig. 1) and contrast-enhanced transthoracic echocardiography (Fig. 2) demonstrated an ill-defined mass in the right heart along the free wall of the right atrium, involving the tricuspid valve and extending into the right ventricle. Extensive inves...
