Left atrial appendage closure with zero fluoroscopic exposure via intracardiac echocardiographic guidance

Left atrial appendage closure with zero fluoroscopic exposure via intracardiac echocardiographic guidance

Background/Purpose: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is conventionally guided by fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography. We introduce an LAAC technique without fluoroscopy exposure using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and electroanatomic mapping system (EAMS) under local anesthesi...
