Left atrial appendage closure in a patient with contraindications for transesophageal echocardiography: a case report
https://doi.org/10.35336/VA-2022-3-06
Abstract
We present a case of successful intracardiac echocardiography guided left atrial appendage catheter closure in a patient with esophageal varices using deflectable delivery sheath to improve ICE-catheter stability.
