One Platform. Multiple Possibilities. The Future of ICE in EP.
- May 29 2026
- Duration 55: 40
An expert panel from Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) Rhythm Theater 2026 discussed the future of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) in electrophysiology labs, including 2D and 3D imaging.
At-a-glance:
- 3:53: Advancements in ICE technology that transform traditional 2D ICE views with iRotate Digital Steering to help enable more efficient imaging and reduce manual catheter manipulations
- 10:45: Practical examples of ICE in EP procedures including PFA and LAAO
- 34:20:13: Economic and clinical rationale for choosing either 2D or 3D ICE Catheters, adapting to procedure type and workflow effectiveness
- 37.00: Real-world case review of VeriSight Single Plane Steerable streamlining operator tasks and enhancing visualization of the pulmonary veins from both the right and left atrium
At the Heart Rhythm Society Meeting 2026, Philips Rhythm Theater held a panel discussion around the evolution of ICE in EP labs.
The panel explored the role of 3D ICE vs 2D ICE within clinical scenarios to achieve the visualization EPs need to help optimize workflows—highlighting enhanced 2D ICE for pulse field ablations (PFAs) with the new VeriSight Singe Plane Steerable Catheter.
Experts demonstrated how enhanced visualization through iRotate Digital Steering allowed the operators to view pulmonary veins, guide transseptal puncture, and confirm catheter contact with minimal manual manipulation.
I cannot get certain views like this, with any catheter, unless I use iRotate (digital steering).

The information you're getting from real time cardiac imaging is often more fruitful for me in my ablations than what I'm gaining from the geometry or the map that I've created.
