ICE-CHIP: Intracardiac Echo and TEE Comparable at Predicting Thromboembolic Risk at Cardioversion

May 15, 2007 (Denver, CO) - Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is about as effective as transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) at assessing thromboembolic risk prior to cardioversion in patients with ...

Factors determining elective cardioversion preceded by transesophageal echocardiography: experiences of 2 cardiology centers

In the TEE (+) group, LAAT was observed in 26 patients (7.18%). None of the patients had a thromboembolic event within the first month of follow-up. In this observational study, we investigated ...

ICE-CHIP: Intracardiac echo and TEE comparable at predicting thromboembolic risk at cardioversion

TEE is commonly used to detect or rule out potentially embolic intra-atrial thrombus or to spontaneous echo contrast (SEC), a sign that suggests impending thrombus, in patients with atrial ...
