catheter was introduced. This catheter, offering real-time pressure feedback along with enhanced support and maneuverability, enabled successful guidewire passage through the PFO. Under the combined guidance of ICE and the pressure-sensing catheter, precise and safe closure of the complex PFO was achieved, without any radiation exposure. We refer to this novel, radiation-free approach as the "push and easy" technique, which may offer a valuable option for the management of complex long-tunnel PFOs.
