TL;DR
A new method using an integrated transseptal wire system successfully accessed the left atrium after a failed RF needle attempt during a heart procedure.
Contribution
The use of an integrated transseptal wire system for accessing the left atrium through a large occluder is novel and effective.
Findings
The integrated transseptal wire system overcame the elastic resistance of the GORE CARDIOFORM ASD occluder.
A large-bore cryoballoon sheath was advanced successfully using the sequential sheath technique.
The procedure was completed without complications for atrial fibrillation ablation.
Abstract
An integrated transseptal wire system enabled successful left atrial access through the elastic resistance posed by a large GORE CARDIOFORM ASD occluder after failed RF needle attempt, allowing large‐bore cryoballoon sheath advancement via sequential sheath technique for atrial fibrillation ablation without procedural complications.
