Radiofrequency puncture of the fossa ovalis for resistant transseptal access.
BACKGROUND Transseptal puncture with a conventional mechanical technique can fail because of a resistant interatrial septum. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a new method to cross-resistant septae by transmitting radiofrequency (RF) energy through the transseptal needle. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 269 consecutive transseptal punctures, 13 (5%) were unsuccessful in 12 different patients ...
متن کاملMicroanatomy and surgical approaches to the infratemporal fossa: an anaglyphic three-dimensional stereoscopic printing study.
OBJECTIVE The infratemporal fossa (ITF) is a continuation of the temporal fossa between the internal surface of the zygoma and the external surface of the temporal bone and greater wing of the sphenoid bone that is sitting deep to the ramus of the mandible. The principal structure to understanding its relationships is the lateral pterygoid muscle. Other important structures are the medial ptery...
متن کاملMorphological variations of fossa ovalis atrial septal defects (secundum): feasibility for transcutaneous closure with the clam-shell device.
OBJECTIVE--To assess the morphology of fossa ovalis atrial septal defects (FOASD; secundum atrial septal defect) to determine in what proportion percutaneous closure with the clam-shell device might be feasible. DESIGN--Review of the intraoperative description of the morphology and size of FOASD. PATIENTS--106 consecutive patients with FOASD. SETTING--A regional children's cardiac referral cent...
متن کاملShifting of puncture site in the fossa ovalis during radiofrequency catheter ablation: intracardiac echocardiography-guided transseptal left heart catheterization.
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) serves as an adjunct to fluoroscopy for electrophysiological procedures by identifying critical anatomic landmarks and confirming catheter-endocardial contact. In the present study, we investigated the usefulness of ICE for radiofrequency catheter ablation. ICE was utilized to guide transseptal puncture in 19 patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablati...
متن کاملA novel method for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect within an aneurysm of the fossa ovalis: double sheath technique.
An aneurysm of the fossa ovalis is frequently associated with an atrial septal defect. Intervention with transcatheter closure of such defects may be difficult since it bears the risk of inadvertent deployment of the device with both umbrellas in the right or left atrium. A novel technique for the closure of such multiperforated aneurysms of the fossa ovalis, which allows central positioning an...
