Intracardiac echocardiography versus transesophageal echocardiography for left atrial appendage closure: an updated meta-analysis and systematic review.
Year: 2020
Type: article
Study designs: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis
Abstract: -Vasc (4.4 ± 0.3 for ICE vs 4.5 ± 0.3 for TEE, P = 0.60) and HAS-BLED (3.2 ± 0.4 vs 3.1 ± 0.6, P = 0.78) scores were comparable between the two groups. There was no significant difference in procedure success rate (RR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.99-1.02, P= 0.31) and periprocedural complications (RR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.59-1.23, P = 0.39). No significant difference was observed in procedure duration, fluoroscopy time and contrast volume used while a trend towards decreased hospital length of stay was seen with the use of ICE. Thus, our updated meta-analysis shows ICE is as effective and safe as TEE for implantation of LAAC devices.
