Technology iteration accelerates intra-cardiac ultrasound track competition intensifies


Intra-cardiac ultrasound (ICE) is an emerging diagnostic echocardiography technology, in which a catheter with a miniature ultrasound transducer probe is placed inside the heart cavity through a vascular pathway to transmit and receive high-frequency ultrasound signals to achieve real-time imaging of cardiac anatomy. Currently, ICE has been used in a variety of structural heart disease procedures such as radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation, left auricular occlusion, atrial septal defect occlusion, mitral valvuloplasty, and endomyocardial biopsy.
