Background and AimsPercutaneous transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure (LAAC) is an effective approach for preventing ischemic stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), a new imaging modality, is a promising strategy for guiding LAAC. This review highlights the various strategies for ICE‐guided‐LAAC as an option for clinical policy.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted of PubMed, ScienceDirect, Ovid Web of Science, SpringerLink, and other notable databases to identify recent peer‐reviewed clinical trials, reviews, and research articles related to ICE and its application in the guidance of LAAC.ResultsVarious methods are used to evaluate the spatial structure and dimensions of the LAA. The main techniques for guiding LAAC are transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), cardiac computed tomography (CTA), and ICE. Among these techniques, the advantages of ICE typically include (1) multiangle and real‐time assessment of intracardiac structure, (2) a reduction in procedural fluoroscopy, (3) reduced operation time and improved workflow in the catheterization laboratory, and (4) the avoidance of general anesthesia and the early detection of complications.ConclusionICE is a promising strategy for the guidance of LAAC. Among the most advanced and recent technological innovations in cardiovascular imaging in general and volume imaging in particular, ICE offers greater efficacy and safety.

“…With its help, healthcare professionals can obtain detailed and accurate images of the cardiac and surrounding structures [5][6][7] . While transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) may provide sufficient ultrasound imaging, its practical value is limited by the need for general anesthesia, the need for tracheal intubation to protect the airway, the possibility of esophageal perforation, and other factors [8][9][10] . As a novel diagnostic technology of clinical medicine, the monitoring and imaging function in real-time of ICE may give sharper imaging, faster treatment durations, and a lower radiation dosage to the patient while retaining the financial cost equal to TEE [11][12][13] .…”

Background: Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has been widely used in clinical and has achieved significant effects in helping control the burden of cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of publications related to ICE and provide reference and guidance for researchers to conduct in-depth research and future topic selection in this field. Methods: In the study, a systematic search of the published research on ICE spanning the years 2000 through 2022 was carried out by us using the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) of the Web of Science. We employed various software such as VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix Package to analyze publication distribution, annual trends, keyword co-occurrence, and collaboration between researchers, nations, and institutions. Results: We manually screened 1021 publications. Notwithstanding the annual number of ICE-related publications’ slight fluctuations over the previous two decades, yearly publications have increased from 8 in 2000 to 47 in 2022. The United States accounted for the most significant proportion of all publications (547) and total citations (16,017). Mayo Clinic is the most active institution, Natale Andrea is the leading scholar, and the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology published the most publications in this area. “Radiofrequency ablation” was the greatest commonly occurrences keyword. Conclusions: In the past few years, the quantity of publications related to ICE has significantly increased. Future research in ICE will focus on the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of structural cardiac disease and cardiomyopathy.

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the preferred imaging modality to help guide left atrial appendage closure. Newer technologies such as the Nuvision 4D Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheter allow for real-time 3D imaging of cardiac anatomy. There are no direct comparison studies for procedural imaging between TEE and 4D ICE. To evaluate the performance and safety of left atrial appendage (LAA) closure procedures with the Watchman FLX and Amulet, guided by the Nuvision 4D ICE Catheter. This retrospective observational analysis was conducted on institutional LAAO National Cardiovascular Data Registry from January 2022 to March 2023. Patients had undergone LAA closure procedures with the Watchman FLX or Amulet device guided by TEE or a 4D ICE Catheter. The primary outcome evaluated was successful LAAO device placement. A total of 121 patients underwent LAAO device placement with 46 (38.0%) patients guided by 4D ICE during LAAO implantation. The 4D ICE group had a shorter procedural time compared with TEE guidance. Post procedural 45-day TEE post implant was also comparable for both groups with no patients in either group having incomplete closure of the left atrial appendage and peri-device leak > 5 mm. No device related complications (device related access, stroke, or pericardial effusion) occurred in either group at follow-up. There was no significant difference in device implant success or post procedural outcomes at 45 days in either the TEE or 4D ICE group. However, there was a noticeable improvement in procedural time with the 4D ICE catheter.
