Author ProfileAbstract
Intraprocedural rotational intracardiac echocardiography by Ultra ICE
allowed qualitative information consistent with a prominent mobile
Crista Terminalis. The correct diagnosis of this right atrial pitfall
zeroed the risk to mistake it for tumors or thrombi, avoiding needlessly
costly additional investigations.
