We successfully performed transseptal puncture in a patient with persistent AF, polysplenia syndrome, and complete interruption of the IVC using the superior route through the internal jugular vein. We also accomplished PV isolation using a deflectable guiding sheath and real-time monitoring of the contact force of the ablation catheter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
