SCAI Position Statement on Intracardiac Echocardiography to Guide Structural Heart Disease Interventions.

ABSTRACT: As structural heart disease interventions rapidly evolve, demand for minimally invasive intraprocedural imaging techniques has increased. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has emerged as a valuable imaging modality, offering real-time, high-resolution visualization of cardiac structures without the need for general anesthesia. This position statement from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions outlines the clinical applications, advantages, limitations, and implementation strategies for ICE in guiding transcatheter structural heart disease procedures. The document details standardized ICE imaging protocols and views for interventions involving the mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves, as well as left atrial appendage occlusion atrial septal defect, and patent foram
