摘要
Transseptal access is commonly performed for any procedure that requires access to the left side of the heart such as catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, left atrial tachycardia, left-sided accessory pathways, ventricular tachycardia, left atrial appendage closure, percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty, and mitral valve repair. To perform this in a safe and effective manner it is important that the operator has a detailed knowledge of the relevant anatomy, the technique required, and the ability to deal with difficult cases and complications. The aim of this article is to provide a detailed description of the anatomy, techniques, potential complications, and difficulties associated with performing this procedure.
