Background and aim: Our aim was to evaluate the fluoroscopy time (FT), procedure time (PT) safety and efficacy when using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) in comparison to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance for transcatheter closure of Ostium Secundum Atrial Septal Defect (OS‐ASD). Method: Ninety patients (n = 90) diagnosed with OS‐ASD underwent transcatheter closure between March 2006 and October 2021. Fifty‐seven patients were treated under ICE guidance, while 33 patients were treated under TEE guidance. Results: Mean age was 43 ± 15 years and 42 ± 10 years in the ICE and TEE groups, respectively. The majority of patients had a centrally placed defect. Median FT was 8.40 min versus 11.70 min (p <.001) in the ICE group compared to the TEE group, respectively. Median PT was 43 min versus 94 min (p <.001) in the ICE group compared to the TEE group, respectively. Both ICE and TEE provided high quality images. All interventions were completed successfully, except for one patient in the ICE group who experienced a device migration, the development of atrial tachycardia in one patient and atrial fibrillation in two patients in the ICE group which spontaneously cardioverted. There were no other complications. Conclusion: This study on a consistent cohort of patients with OS‐ASD undergoing percutaneous closure suggests that use of ICE is safe and efficacious. Compared to TEE, ICE demonstrated significantly shorter FT and PT, decreasing the entire duration of the procedure and x‐ray exposure. No relevant differences were observed in terms of success rate and complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cor Triatriatum Sinister (CTS) represents a rare congenital cardiac defect characterized by the presence of a fibro-muscular membrane separating the left atrium into two cavities. During adulthood CTS may be asymptomatic and incidentally found during imaging diagnostic workflow. Bidimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is considered the first-line imaging technique for the evaluation of CTS. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are advanced diagnostic tools, usually required to obtain additional data. When these diagnostic techniques are contraindicated or not available, three-dimensional (3D) TTE may provide useful information which may help in the morphological assessment of CTS. Moreover, this widespread technique is safe and frequently available in the echocardiography laboratories, although the acoustic window and the training of the operator may be limiting factors. With this case report we sought to emphasize the usefulness of this technique as a valid alternative to CMR and TEE in selected settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: To investigate the prevalence of amyloid cardiomyopathy (AC) and the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiographic red flags of AC among consecutive adult patients undergoing transthoracic echocardiogram for reason other than AC in 13 Italian institutions. Methods and results: This is an Italian prospective multicentre study, involving a clinical and instrumental work-up to assess AC prevalence among patients ≥55 years old with an echocardiogram suggestive of AC (i.e. at least one echocardiographic red flag of AC in hypertrophic, non-dilated left ventricles with preserved ejection fraction). The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04738266). Overall, 381 patients with an echocardiogram suggestive of AC were identified among a cohort of 5315 screened subjects, and 217 patients completed the investigations. A final diagnosis of AC was made in 62 patients with an estimated prevalence of 29% (95% confidence interval 23%–35%). Transthyretin-related AC (ATTR-AC) was diagnosed in 51 and light chain-related AC (AL-AC) in 11 patients. Either apical sparing or a combination of ≥2 other echocardiographic red flags, excluding interatrial septum thickness, provided a diagnostic accuracy >70%. Conclusion: In a cohort of consecutive adults with echocardiographic findings suggestive of AC and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, the prevalence of AC (either ATTR or AL) was 29%. Easily available echocardiographic red flags, when combined together, demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy.
