The impressive advances in structural heart disease interventions in the last decade led to renewed interest in intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). The potential of ICE to avoid transesophageal echocardiography with its known limits, has supported ICE technology progress and wider clinical use. This review summarizes relevant evidence about ICE and provides the structural interventionalist with an illustrative guide on the use of ICE to guide various structural heart interventions.
过去十年间，结构性心脏病介入治疗取得了令人瞩目的进展，这使得心腔内超声心动图（ICE）重新受到关注。ICE具有避免经食管超声心动图已知局限性的潜力，这推动了ICE技术的进步及其在临床上更广泛的应用。本综述总结了有关ICE的相关证据，并为结构性心脏病介入专家提供了一份关于使用ICE指导各种结构性心脏病介入治疗的说明性指南。
