RESUMO
Traditionally, percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) is performed under fluoroscopy only. In difficult cases, general anesthesia with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance is needed. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) enables operators to perform PMC under local anesthesia while providing intra-procedural imaging guidance, as in TEE. Hereby, we describe a case of PMC guided by ICE to allow early detection of complications.
