ICE imaging from the LA
Insertion of Carto Soundstar® into the LA and imaging
the LAPW and esophagus were done in all patients without any
complications. All of the present 73 study patients showed the esophagus
location in the left side (i.e., posterior to the left PV antrum,Figure 1 ). The 3D ICE esophagus image showed a good overlap
with the contrast esophagus image in all patients (Figure 3 ).
