**Study 2: ICE-guided AVEIR AR Placement – Schaller et al
@PennMedicine @DrRoderickTung
👥 14 implants, mostly on arcuate ridge (AR)
🔍 Real-time ICE targeting of thick RA tissue
🧮 Only 1.2 deployments/device avg
✅ No complications
📉 Pacing thresholds improved from implant to follow-up
**Why Arcuate Ridge (AR)?**
*The AR is the thickest lateral RA site—ideal for stability & lower perforation risk.
*ICE allows real-time confirmation of AR engagement & monitoring of contact force and COI.
