Simplified Imaging Protocol for ICE-Guided LAAO
Contrary to the 4 traditional views obtained with transesophageal echo (0, 45, 90, 135 degrees), assessing LAAO with ICE can be adequately achieved with imaging obtaining 2 orthogonal views from 2 locations (mid left atrium and across the mitral valve). (A) Mid-left atrial view; (B) transmitral view. ICE = intracardiac echocardiogram; LAA = left atrial appendage.
