Electrophysiology Procedures
Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) provides real-time dynamic imaging during electrophysiology procedures, enabling precise ablation target localization and complication monitoring (e.g., pericardial effusion or thrombosis). Their high-resolution images clearly visualize cardiac structures to optimize catheter manipulation and enhance procedural safety, particularly for complex arrhythmia ablations such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
