Retrograde aortic approach for atrial fibrillation ablation with a conventional 3-D mapping catheter: A case report.
Christian ComandanteChun-Chieh WangYu-Chang HuangChung-Chuan ChouPublished in: Clinical case reports (2019)
The presence of a Gore-Tex patch can create difficulty in performing transeptal puncture for atrial septal defect patients underwent atrial fibrillation ablation. The maneuverability and stability of using manually operated catheters via retrograde aortic approach could be overcome by a large-curved catheter to form a loop facilitating approachability to all parts of left atrium.
