Abstract

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a valuable tool and should be standard of care in any modern electrophysiology laboratory. Through real-time imaging of cardiac anatomy, ICE is used to guide electrophysiology procedures and monitor for complications. This article is a short overview of the application of real-time ICE imaging during atrial fibrillation ablation procedures.
