Intracardiac Echocardiography From the Left Atrium for Procedural Guidance of Transcatheter Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Conclusions LA ICE to guide LAAO as compared with TEE appears to be effective and safe, without increased procedure-related complications. The rate of peridevice leak is low and similar to TEE-guided procedures. Time spent in the catheterization room may decrease substantially.
