E Glassman, I Kronzon

    The American Journal of Cardiology
    |June 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces intracardiac echocardiography using a novel ultrasonic transducer during cardiac catheterization. This safe and valuable technique enhances visualization of cardiac structures and aids in procedures like transseptal puncture.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Conventional echocardiography has limitations in visualizing certain cardiac structures.
    • Cardiac catheterization is an invasive procedure requiring precise guidance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel intracardiac echocardiography system during cardiac catheterization.
    • To demonstrate the ability of intracardiac echocardiography to visualize cardiac structures and guide transseptal puncture.

    Main Methods:

    • A 7.5 MHz ultrasonic transducer (0.2 mm x 0.75 mm) was mounted on a catheter for intracardiac use in 20 patients.
    • The system was used during cardiac catheterization to assess cardiac dimensions, valve motion, and guide transseptal needle placement.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed visualization of left atrium, aortic root, right atrium, pulmonary artery, and right ventricle was achieved.
    • Tricuspid, pulmonary, and aortic valve motion was displayed.
    • Accurate guidance of transseptal puncture was facilitated by real-time visualization of the interatrial septum.

    Conclusions:

    • Intracardiac echocardiography is a safe and valuable adjunct to conventional echocardiography and cardiac catheterization.
    • This technology enables imaging of structures difficult or impossible to obtain with external echocardiography.
    • It enhances procedural safety and accuracy, particularly for interventions like transseptal puncture.
