3D Intracardiac Echocardiography in Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair: When TEE Is Hard to Stomach.

ABSTRACT: Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has historically had limited utility in complex structural interventions. Newer 3-dimensional ICE catheters have enhanced imaging and real-time functionality. We present a novel case of mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair where transesophageal imaging was limited by massive hiatal hernia and where complementary 3D ICE imaging enabled procedural success. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
