Implication

ICE-guided transseptal puncture without fluoroscopy proved feasible in animals; leaves open human translation and requires clinical validation.

Structured PICO

Does intracardiac echocardiography safely guide transseptal puncture without fluoroscopy in an animal model?

Population

10 dogs (animal model)

Intervention

Transseptal puncture guided solely by intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) using 6.2-French/12.5-MHz and 9-French/9-MHz ICE catheters

Outcome

Safety and feasibility of transseptal puncture (evaluated by pathologic evaluation for perforation)safety

Intracardiac echocardiography provides excellent visualization of the fossa ovalis and allows for safe transseptal puncture without fluoroscopy in an animal model.
