چکیده

We report a case where real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) was able to detect a complicated transseptal puncture during a Mitraclip procedure which was not seen on the two-dimensional TEE (2D-TEE) images. This case demonstrates the incremental value of 3D-TEE during transseptal puncture.

Double transseptal puncture guided by real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography during atrial fibrillation ablation.

A 65-year-old man was admitted to our centre because of recurrent drug-resistant episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, for pulmonary vein radiofrequency catheter ablation. Double transseptal (TS) puncture was performed under realtime three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) guidance. We started by placing a quadripolar catheter in the coronary sinus and a Pigtail ca...

Different transseptal puncture for different procedures: Optimization of left atrial catheterization guided by transesophageal echocardiography

BACKGROUND Left atrial catheterization through transseptal puncture is frequently performed in cardiac catheterization procedures. Appropriate transseptal puncture is critical to achieve procedural success. AIMS The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of selective transseptal punctures, using a modified radiofrequency (RF) transseptal needle and transesophageal echocardiography (T...

The value of three-dimensional color Doppler trans-esophageal echocardiography in predicting the number of MitraClip devices needed during the procedure

Purpose During MitraClip procedure, one or more clips might be needed to effectively reduce the mitral regurgitation (MR). Three-dimensional vena-contracta (3D-VC) assessed by color Doppler three-dimensional trans-esophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) was proven to be well correlated with MR severity. However, its role in predicting the number of MitraClip devices needed during the procedure was...

First experience with real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography-guided transseptal in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation.

AIMS Transseptal (TS) puncture during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is a relatively safe procedure in experienced hands. However, major and minor complications cannot be completely ruled out. Real-time three-dimensional transeosophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) is a novel imaging technology that permits direct visualization of the fossa ovalis in a 3D perspective, thereby sensibly lower...

Impact of transesophageal echocardiography during transseptal puncture on atrial fibrillation ablation

BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to demonstrate the added value of routine transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for correctly positioning the transseptal system in the fossa ovalis (FO), thus potentially preventing complications during fluoroscopy-guided transseptal puncture (TP), and for assessing the optimal puncture site within the FO according to the expected procedure type. METHODS ...
