ABSTRACT
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has been used as an adjunctive tool during electrophysiological procedures, mainly to increase the safety of transseptal puncture. We present the case of a young patient with a left-lateral bypass tract and atrial septal aneurysm, in whom ICE delineated the underlying anatomy, excluded the presence of thrombus and facilitated access to the left atrium through a small atrial septal defect, avoiding the risk of needle puncture for interatrial septal crossing.
