A newer phased-array ultrasound imaging catheter (AcuNav, Siemens, Moutainview, Calif) provides comprehensive anatomic and physiologic data during cardiac interventions. The role of this catheter in percutaneous closure procedures, transseptal ablative procedures, and valvular interventions has been reported. We describe an expanded role of intracardiac echocardiography using AcuNav imaging catheter (Siemens) in 2 clinical situations.
