Background: Percutaneous closure of the patent foramen ovale is nowadays a commonly
perfomed technique. This procedure is usually monitored by fluoroscopy, and mostly by two …

Objective To investigate the preliminary experience of transcatheter closure of patent
foramen ovale (PFO) under intracardiac echocardiographic (ICE) guidance and to compare …

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

Objective To evaluate the benefit of using three-dimensional transesophageal
echocardiography (3DTEE) over conventional two-dimensional transesophageal …

Adequate imaging to allow percise visualization of the septum and defect is a cornerstone of
the patent foramen ovale closure procedure. The advent of intracardiac echocardiography …

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—This study sought to test whether intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is
superior to conventional monitoring in guiding device closure of interatrial communications …

Background. Data on the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous transcatheter closure of
atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) guided by intracardiac ultrasound …

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

Introduction Percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure by means of a septal
occluder device (SOD) is a well‐known therapeutic strategy for the secondary prevention of …
