Intracardiac echocardiography use in children.

In their article, Bartel et al1 demonstrate the superiority of intracardiac echocardiography over conventional transesophageal echocardiography in guiding device closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) and patent foramen ovale (PFO).1 ASDs and PFOs can be successfully closed in children under transesophageal echocardiography guidance.2,3 Because the authors have not provided the reader with the...

Utility of real-time three-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography for patent foramen ovale closure.

Recently, many interventional centres have adopted intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) in preference to transoesophageal echocardiography to guide percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure. ICE obviates the need for general anaesthesia, facilitating earlier hospital discharge, and gives superior imaging capability, particularly of the inferior interatrial septum. 2 The advent of real-time...

Selecting the optimal closure device in patients with atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovaleD

Patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defects are common cardiac defects that can be routinely closed with transcatheter devices, rather than more invasive open surgical techniques. There is good evidence supporting both surgical and transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects, but there remains controversy regarding some of the currently applied indications for patent foramen ovale closure...
