Safety of Single Transseptal Puncture for Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: Retrospective Study from a Large Cohort of Patients

Abstract

This retrospective study on a large cohort of patients shows that single transseptal puncture for positioning two or more catheters in the left atrium for AF ablation is a highly successful and safe maneuver with a very low morbidity in the majority of patients. This may avoid potential complications related to a second transseptal puncture.
