    The Evolving use of Intracardiac Echocardiography in Structural Heart Disease Interventions | SCAI - 9 month(s) ago

    Structural Heart Disease Intervention (SHDI) is one of the fastest-growing medical fields. This discipline is highly predicated upon preprocedural and intraprocedural imaging. The latter has mostly meant transesophageal (TEE) imaging. However, intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) technology has rapidly accelerated and is gaining steam. Potential advantages include less patient sedation, faster workflows, and less recovery time. In the clinical arena, ICE is sometimes used in left atrial appendage occlusion

    Present Antarctic deglaciation may be unprecedented in last 5,000 years, UMaine study finds - 2 year(s) ago

    An international team of researchers led by the University of Maine found that two major glaciers in West Antarctica — Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers — may be losing ice faster than they have in at least the last 5,000 years. Their study looked at the relative sea-level change close to the glaciers during the past 5,000 years using radiocarbon dating of shells from ancient beaches and found…

    Dual Wire Technique for Transseptal Passage of Intracardiac Echocardiogram Probe During Left Atrium Appendage Closure - 2 year(s) ago

    A single transseptal puncture can allow for passage of both the delivery sheath and the intracardiac echocardiogram (ICE) probe during left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). With this approach, the ICE probe is carefully directed through a dilated septal tract. However, the passage of the ICE probe through this tract can be difficult. We have previously reported a technique to facilitate…
