Direct transatrial pericardiocentesis was utilized as a treatment approach for cardiac tamponade caused by left atrial perforation following trans-septal puncture.
Direct transatrial pericardiocentesis represents a potential management strategy for cardiac tamponade resulting from left atrial perforation during trans-septal puncture.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Trans-septal puncture is associated with risks of serious complications. We report a case of an obese 52-year-old man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who underwent preoperative coronary angiography and cardiac catheterisation complicated by left atrial perforation. We describe a direct transatrial pericardiocentesis approach to treating cardiac tamponade.
