Session 2.4 | Live Case: ICE Guided LAA

Chair: Azeem Latib

Panel: Guillaume Bonnet; Karim Al Azizi; Nicolas Van Mieghem

Case Operator: Ole De Backer, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, DK

This live case showcases the increasing adoption of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) to guide left atrial appendage closure. The session will demonstrate how ICE enables precise transseptal access, real-time device positioning and procedural optimisation—often without the need for general anaesthesia. Faculty will discuss patient selection, workflow efficiencies and the advantages of ICE-guided procedures in improving patient comfort and reducing resources.

With practical tips and real-time decision-making, this session highlights how advanced imaging is transforming contemporary structural interventions and enabling more streamlined, patient-centred care pathways.
