Inter-atrial Septal Balloon Dilation to Facilitate Intracardiac Echocardiography Guided Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
2024-03-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is traditionally performed under general anesthesia with trans-esophageal echocardiography guidance. Intracardiac echo (ICE) guided LAAO closure is increasing in clinical use. The ICE catheter is crossed into LA via interatrial septum (IAS) after the septum is dilated with LAAO delivery sheath. This step can be time-consuming and requires si...
