Transseptal puncture for ablation of atrial fibrillation in a patient with an implanted atrial flow regulator: a case report.
Cornelia BillerKarlo FilipovicJakob LükerDaniel StevenPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2020)
To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a transseptal puncture in a patient with an implanted AFR. Transseptal puncture in patients with an implanted AFR seems to be safe and feasible. With device diameters of 21-23 mm and based on previous studies on similar devices, transseptal puncture should be possible in most patients, as opposed to puncture through the device.
