What is ICE vs TEE for LAAO in Atrial Fibrillation about?

This systematic review and meta-analysis compares intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for guiding left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in patients with atrial fibrillation. The analysis of 19 studies involving 44,706 patients found that ICE had a higher procedure success rate but a greater risk of pericardial effusion compared to TEE. Overall, ICE is suggested as a viable alternative to TEE, especially for patients who cannot tolerate general anesthesia.
