Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The comparison of micro and mini TEE imaging compared with regular ICE imaging. The off line analysis of the data will allow the study team (treating physicians with support of Philips study team members) to evaluate the image quality compared to ICE imaging in atrial transseptal puncture during AF ablation procedures. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| •The scoring of the preference of the physician for the type of imaging at the moment of transseptal puncture. •The scoring of manipulability of micro or mini TEE probe by discretion of the physician. •The scoring of intubation of micro or mini TEE probe in the esophagus of the patient by discretion of the physician. •The fusion of anonymized X-ray fluoroscopy and micro TEE / mini TEE for database built-up to develop a fused X-ray/echography imaging device. | — |
