Transcatheter creation of an atrial septal defect using radiofrequency perforation

Transseptal perforation using radiofrequency energy was performed successfully in a patient with congenital heart disease and a thickened interatrial septum. This was followed by balloon dilatation of the atrial septal defect. Radiofrequency is presented as a alternative to standard transseptal need...

Summary:Transseptal perforation using radiofrequency energy was performed successfully in a patient with congenital heart disease and a thickened interatrial septum. This was followed by balloon dilatation of the atrial septal defect. Radiofrequency is presented as a alternative to standard transseptal needle puncture.
