Step 6: visualization and reconstruction of the pulmonary valve
in short-axis view.
Panel A: from the “home view,” gently advancing the probe
towards the SVC, while slightly tilting posteriorly and towards right
and by making a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation (depending on the
anatomy), the operator should be able to orient the beam on the
pulmonary artery. The aortic valve is displayed in long-axis view.Panel B : intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheter in the
right atrium with the beam oriented on the short axis of the pulmonary
artery.
