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
  • ICE US machine - EP (Ask before taking!)
  • Echo Tech

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:
