Video 44.1 The "home view" of the RV inflow and tricuspid valve viewed from the RA (Video 44.1A). The proximal RVOT is also seen. The aortic valve is visible but slightly out of plane. Note the presence of an RV defibrillator lead. Color Doppler of the tricuspid valve (Video 44.1B) reveals mild regurgitation with 2 jets visible.

Video 44.3 The aortic valve and LVOT are viewed from the RA (Video 44.3A). Color Doppler across the aortic valve (Video 44.3B) shows largely laminar flow across the outflow tract with only physiologic regurgitation.

Video 44.5 Starting from the home view visualizing the tricuspid valve, the catheter is anteflexed keeping the tricuspid valve in view. The catheter is then advanced across the tricuspid valve into the RV. Once in the RV, the anteflexion of the catheter is released.
Video 44.6 The initial image after insertion of the ICE catheter into the right ventricle (RV) shows the inferior RV free wall (bottom left) and apex.
Video 44.7 Long-axis view of the LV with the posteromedial papillary muscle and mitral valve (Video 44.7A). Further clockwise rotation of the ICE catheter brings the anterolateral papillary muscle into view (Video 44.7B). Note each papillary muscle has 2 distinct heads.

Video 44.8 The aortic valve viewed in short-axis from the RV. All 3 cusps (L = left, R = right, N = noncoronary) are seen (Video 44.8A). The left main coronary artery ostium can be visualized as well. Color Doppler across the aortic valve reveals trace regurgitation (arrows, Video 44.8B).

Video 44.11 The ascending aorta is viewed in longaxis (Video 44.11A) and obliquely (Video 44.11B) from the right ventricle. Focal atheroma at the sinotubular junction is seen in Video 44.11A (arrow), and more diffuse ascending aortic atheroma is seen in Video 44.11B (arrow).

Video 44.12 The ablation catheter in good contact with the endocardium at the border of an akinetic anteroapical infarct (superior to catheter tip). Note the ablation lesion is demonstrated by ICE as an area of increased echodensity (arrows). Bubbles from the irrigated ablation catheter can also be seen.

Video 44.18 Short-axis view of the aortic valve (L = left coronary cusp, N = noncoronary cusp) from the RV showing the ablation catheter in the right coronary cusp (arrow, Video 44.18A).
