Intracardiac echocardiography to guide transseptal catheterization for radiofrequency catheter ablation of left-sided accessory pathways: two case reports
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a useful tool for guiding transseptal puncture during electrophysiological mapping and ablation procedures. Left-sided accessory pathways (LSAP) can be ablated by using two different modalities: retrograde approach through the aortic valve and transseptal approach with puncture of the fossa ovalis. We shall report two cases of LSAP where transcatheter radi...
متن کاملThe use of a radiofrequency needle improves the safety and efficacy of transseptal puncture for atrial fibrillation ablation.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation requires transseptal puncture to gain entry to the left atrium (LA). On rare occasions, LA entry cannot be achieved or cardiac perforation results in pericardial tamponade. OBJECTIVE This study sought to compare a new radiofrequency (RF) transseptal needle with the standard needle. METHODS We evaluated 1,550 AF ablations in 1,167 patients. We com...
متن کاملRadiofrequency 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 کاملUse of a novel sharp-tip, J-shaped guidewire to facilitate transseptal catheterization.
AIMS Transseptal catheterization (TSP-C) is a demanding procedure and at the same time one of the key points of atrial fibrillation ablation, an increasingly diffused procedure. This study prospectively evaluates the usefulness of a novel sharp-tip, J-shaped 0.014'' transseptal guidewire (TSP-GW) to facilitate TSP-C in case of resistant atrial septum (AS). METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive pati...
متن کاملThe Limbic Ledge
SINCE its initial description,' transseptal left heart catheterization has been increasingly used as a diagnostic and a research technic. While refinements in instrumentation have emerged 2, 3 the method of septal puncture has remained unchanged. The original description of septal puncture required that the catheter and needle assembly be positioned in the right atrium at a point near the junct...
متن کاملIncidence of tissue coring during transseptal catheterization when using electrocautery and a standard transseptal needle.
BACKGROUND The application of radiofrequency electrocautery to a standard, open-ended transseptal needle has been used to facilitate transseptal puncture (TSP). The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of cardiac tissue coring when this technique is used. METHODS AND RESULTS A model using excised swine hearts submerged in a saline-filled basin was developed to simulate TSP wit...
