Systematic evaluation and meta-analysis of transcardiac intracavitary and transesophageal echocardiography-guided left atrial appendage occlusion surgery.

Device and catheter type: multi-seal mechanism devices: ICE significantly shortened duration (MD = −3.46, P < 0.00001), whereas single-seal mechanism had superior TEE (MD = 2.56, P = 0.0002), with a significant between-group difference between devices ( P < 0.0001); SoundStar catheters: ICE significantly shortened duration (MD = −4.90, P < 0.00001), other catheter types had insignificant or nearly significant differences, with significant differences between groups ( P < 0.00001). 3.4.2.4 Summarize security results A total of 16 studies were included, containing 1,673 patients in the ICE group and 5,266 patients in the TEE group.
