DOI: 10.1016/j.ccep.2021.03.004
Abstract: Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is the most practical method for online imaging during electrophysiological procedures. It allows guiding of complex catheter ablation procedures together with electroanatomical mapping systems, either with minimal or with zero fluoroscopy exposure.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2018.12.022
Abstract: BACKGROUND The presence of inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) has been considered a relative contraindication to electrophysiology (EP) procedures that require transfemoral venous placement of multiple catheters and/or long sheaths. There are inadequate data related… read more here.
