Key result
Transseptal puncture for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation after device closure of a patent foramen ovale with an Amplatzer Occluder was successfully demonstrated in two cases.
Demonstrates the feasibility of transseptal puncture for atrial fibrillation ablation in patients with prior Amplatzer PFO closure.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Feasibility suggested in two cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change ablation planning.
The technique of transseptal puncture for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation after percutaneous closure of a foramen ovale with the Amplatzer Occluder is demonstrated based on 2 representative cases.
