Role of Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) in Transcatheter Occlusion of Atrial Septal Defects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) is a reality in the vast majority of countries; this procedure can be done safely and effectively in skilled hands and with the appropriate devices. Accurate and precise knowledge of the anatomy of the secundum atrial septal defect and the nearby structures is essential for the effectiveness and safe performance of ASD closure. Improvements in ultrasound technology over the last several decades have been particularly useful for guidance during this particular invasive procedure.

Safe and effective guidance by intracardiac echocardiography for transcatheter closure in atrial septal defects.
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcome of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) compared with the trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) guided method. From May 2010 to April 2011, 46 patients who underwent ICE guided (n = 23) or TEE guided (n = 23) transcatheter closure of ASD were analyzed retrospectively. We compar...

The incidence of atrial septal defect (ASD) is 1 in 1000 live births and account up to one third of the acyanotic shunts in the adult population. (Brickner et al. 2000; Yared et al. 2009) Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is found more than 25% of the adults. (Yared, Baggish et al. 2009) Historically, surgical closure of ASDs has been the most common therapy until new catheterbased techniques began to...

Background and Objectives:Phased-array intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a novel method for monitoring intracardiac procedures. We report our initial experience with ICE for guiding transcatheter device closure of atrial septal defects (ASD). Subjects and Methods:From April 2004 to March 2005, ICE was performed in 27 consecutive patients during percutaneous device closure of ASDs. The proc...
متن کاملSizing of atrial septal defects by intracardiac echocardiography for device closures.
BACKGROUND Transcatheter closure of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) has become an effective method for surgical treatment. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility and accuracy of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) for sizing ASDs compared with conventional methods. METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2006, 270 patients underwent transcatheter closure of secundum ASD by using ...
