ICE - Intracardiac Echo

From Bay Area Structural Heart Wiki

ICE is used for procedures where precise positioning of devices in the heart is necessary. Primarily structural heart Tricuspid valve procedures, and PFO/ASD closures.

Supplies Needed

  • 8fr. ICE catheter - Structural/PFO cart behind Room 1
  • Swiftlink cover - Structural/PFO cart behind Room 1

When using ICE with TEE you will need to pause whichever US is not being used to avoid interference. Here is a diagram of the controls:
