Session 3.8 - Case & Discussion: Maximizing Single Operator Case Sufficiency with Deep Sedation; Concomitant Ablation with ICE Guided LAA closure

This session, chaired by Jason Andrade (Vancouver, CA), features a recorded case presentation by Shephal Doshi (Pacific Heart Institute, Santa Monica, US) demonstrating concomitant ablation and left atrial appendage closure. Shephal Doshi highlights strategies for maximizing efficiency as a single operator using deep sedation with propofol rather than general anesthesia, noting the importance of avoiding paralytics to monitor patient movement during monopolar ablation. The discussion, involving panelists Rodney Horton (Austin, US) and Devi Nair (Jonesboro, US), covers cost-effectiveness by minimizing catheter waste, the nuances of sizing large appendages using angiograms versus ICE measurements, and techniques for safe device deployment in patients without positive pressure ventilation.
