Does direct over-the-needle transseptal access with the Faradrive sheath improve feasibility and safety in patients undergoing pulsed field ablation?
Using a direct over-the-needle transseptal access with the Faradrive sheath for pulsed field ablation is feasible and safe, potentially streamlining workflow and reducing complications.
An over-the-needle TSP directly with the PFA sheath proved feasible and safe in our study. This simplified workflow has the potential to reduce the risk of air embolism, to shorten procedure time, and to reduce cost.
