Aims To evaluate the use of intracardiac echocardiography probe through oesophageal
route (ICE-TEE) for the monitoring of percutaneous foramen ovale (PFO) closure procedure …

Background Percutaneous closure of the patent foramen ovale (PFO) is primarily guided by
fluoroscopy in the catheter room, during which procedure both the guidewire and sheath …

Background: Transesophageal (TEE) and intracardiac (ICE) echocardiography are
commonly used to guide percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure. The study aim …

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate safety, efficacy, and long‐term clinical
outcome of percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO closure) in a low volume …

Objectives: Our aim was to develop a “standby intracardiac echocardiography” approach to
patent foramen ovale (PFO) closures where intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is only …

Background An increasing number of studies have proved that patent foramen ovale (PFO)
occlusion could reduce the incidence of recurrent stroke more than drug therapy alone …

Background: Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been increasingly
performed for several indications; mostly due to cryptogenic stroke. In this study we aimed to …

Background: Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is generally performed
using intra-procedural guidance by transoesophageal (TEE) or intracardiac (ICE) …

Background and Objectives: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance is the
current gold standard for catheter-based procedures in the treatment of structural heart …

Background Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is conventionally
performed under continuous transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) guidance. We …
