ICE Noninferior to TEE for AF Ablation Thrombus Screening
Added: 1 month ago Source:  Arrhythmia Academy
For patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, preprocedural thrombus screening with intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is noninferior to the standard transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for preventing thromboembolic events, according to findings from a recent randomised trial.¹ The study, known as the ICE vs TEE Study (NCT05466266), also found that ICE offered benefits in… View more
