Table7_A comparable efficacy and safety between intracardiac echocardiography and transeso

Zhi-Yuan Zhang's meta-analysis compares the efficacy and safety of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for guiding percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). The study synthesizes results from 20 studies involving 3,610 atrial fibrillation patients, analyzing outcomes like procedural success, time, and complications. The data was compiled from four databases up to December 2022 and is available as a 17.4 KB DOCX file.

Use Cases

• Compare procedural success rates between ICE and TEE guidance based on the reported risk ratios.
• Analyze the relationship between patient subgroups (e.g., hypertension proportion) and procedural metrics like contrast use.
• Investigate the impact of device type (multi-seal mechanism) on total procedure time and fluoroscopic time.

Strengths

• Based on a synthesis of 20 clinical studies, providing aggregated evidence.
• Includes data from 3,610 atrial fibrillation patients (1,564 ICE, 2,046 TEE).
• Reports specific statistical metrics like risk ratios and weighted mean differences for key outcomes.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (17.4 KB), suggesting it contains summary results rather than patient-level data.
• Freshness should be verified as the underlying studies were screened up to December 2022.
