SVSanjai Pattu ValappilDCDarius ChapmanAPAlexis Puvrez

Key Points

  • The aim is to examine how an electrified guidewire affects transseptal access and tissue interaction.
  • Conducted an ex vivo ovine study
  • Evaluated guidewire protrusion beyond 1 mm
  • Measured tissue temperature during procedures
  • Guidewire protrusion beyond 1 mm led to inconsistent perforation
  • Increased tissue temperature was observed with deeper protrusions

Abstract

Displacement of the IAS is required for successful ETSP. Guidewire protrusion beyond 1 mm resulted in inconsistent perforation and increased tissue temperature.
