Fig. 5.5 Transseptal puncture guided by biplane TEE. FO, Fossa ovalis; IVC, inferior vena cava; LA, left atrium; RA, right atrium; RAA, right atrial appendage; SVC, superior vena cava; TEE, transesophageal echo­cardiography. The arrows illustrate tenting of the fossa ovalis in a mid-mid position on the superior-inferior (left) and the anterior-posterior (right) aspects of the septum, respectively.
catheter (e.g., AcuNav, Siemens, Malvern, PA; ViewFlex, St. Jude, St. Paul, MN) is advanced to the mid-RA and rotated clockwise to identify the intraatrial septum. A slight posterior tilt of the transducer (AP knob) brings the FO into view (long-axis septal view). This view is comparable, but not identical, to the “long-axis” view on TEE, and hence can be used to assess the height of the puncture (Fig. 5.6). The catheter can then be withdrawn slightly to a low RA position and rotated slightly leftward using the right–left knob to yield the “short­axis septal view,” which delineates the anterior and posterior borders of the FO.

3. Fusion imaging: Novel imaging systems (e.g., Echo Navigator, Philips, Amsterdam,
Netherlands) offer fusion of TEE 1 fluoroscopy images, allowing a real-time, cross­integrated view of both modalities. Newer imaging modalities (3D-TEE, computed tomography [CT]-derived 3D-augmented fluoroscopy, real-time magnetic resonance imaging, and rotational angiography) have been shown to be very useful in guiding SHD interventions, but their incremental values in guiding TSP have not been fully evaluated.
SITE-SPECIFIC PUNCTURE
The advent of complex SHD interventions that require LA access has called attention to the key role of site-specific transseptal access in optimizing the results of these procedures. example, optimal guiding-catheter position in the LA is a crucial initial step of transcatheter mitral valve repair with the MitraClip (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA); a posterior and slightly superior puncture is desired to achieve the recommended distance of 3.5 to 4.5 cm between the puncture and the valve planes when central mitral regurgitation is targeted, whereas higher and lower puncture locations are more suitable for medial and lateral regurgi­tant jets, respectively. In percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty and transseptal mitral valve–in–valve implantation procedures, a midposterior puncture allows coaxial access to the valve plane and adequate working height in the LA. Similarly, in percutaneous left atrial ap­pendage (LAA) closure procedures, the success of the procedure relies on coaxial alignment of the delivery sheath along the long axis of the LAA. This is best achieved with an inferior­posterior TSP (Fig. 5.7).

Complications of Transseptal Catheterization
Complications of TSP, although rare, are associated with major morbidity and mortality. Detailed knowledge of the spatial relationship of the atrial septum to surrounding structures and its variations is a key to enhance the safety of the procedure. The operator should also develop a contingency plan and a systematic approach to the most common potential complications of TSP.
Cardiac tamponade: Cardiac tamponade during TSP may result from inadvertent advance-
ment of the needle or the transseptal sheath into the free atrial wall or excessive manipulation of large-bore sheaths/guides in the LA or the LAA. The incidence of cardiac tamponade ranges between ,1% in diagnostic hemodynamic studies to 1% to 2% with mitral valve interventions and 2% to 3% with LAA closure. The clinical presentation varies according to the size of the implicated device, the structure that is affected (RA, LA, LAA), and the hemodynamic and co­agulation status of the patient at the time of the event. Immediate recognition and treatment with pericardiocentesis is lifesaving. Therefore pericardiocentesis kits and competency in the proce­dure are essential requirements for any intervention involving TSP. If tamponade is a result of an inadvertent passage of a sheath or a catheter through the free wall of the atrium, it is vital not to prematurely withdraw the perforating catheter. Maintaining sheath or catheter access through the perforation allows stabilization of the perforation until a definitive rescue intervention is undertaken. The feasibility of Amplatz septal and vascular occluders in sealing iatrogenic cardiac and aortic perforations has been demonstrated in several reports.
Thromboembolism: Thrombus formation can occur before, during, or after TSP, mainly due to
underanticoagulation (Fig. 5.8). To mitigate these risks, we routinely administer 2000 to 5000 units of unfractionated heparin before TSP and 150 to 200 units/kg to achieve an ACT .250 to 300 after obtaining LA access to the LA. Maintaining an activated clotting time (ACT) .300 seconds during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been suggested to prevent LA thrombus formation. The high ACT is well tolerated, and it is important not to rely on coronary doses of heparin while in­tervening in the LA. In high-risk patients with persistent LAA clot or dense smoke, cerebral em­bolic protection can be utilized. If a thrombus is detected on echocardiography, vigorous aspiration and intensifying anticoagulation are often adequate to resolve it.
2
Air embolism: Air emboli may enter the LA because of inadvertent injection of air during
catheter/sheath flushing or due to inadequate deairing of the delivery system, especially in pa­tients with low LA pressure. Although the majority of air emboli are subclinical, myocardial in­farction, stroke, hypotension, and cardiac arrest may occur if large emboli have entered the arterial circulation. This complication can be largely prevented with meticulous deairing of the delivery sheath and adequate hydration to increase LA pressure during the procedure. If air emboli are suspected, prompt treatment with high-flow oxygen, manual thrombectomy, vasopressors, and volume expansion is paramount. Hyperbaric oxygen is reserved for patients with large air emboli leading to cerebral ischemia, although the prognosis of those patients is guarded despite treat­ment. Although the development of ST-segment elevation should always raise suspicion for air embolism, transient self-limiting ST elevation may occur due to a vasospastic neutrally mediated mechanism (Bezold–Jarisch reflex).
Iatrogenic atrial septal defect: Persistent septal defect after transseptal structural interventions
is not uncommon, and its incidence is linearly related to the diameter of the transseptal sheath/
5
system.
At 6-month follow-up, persistent septal defects were found in 6.8%, 20%, and 50% of patients who underwent LAA closure (12F), mitral balloon valvuloplasty (14F), and transcath­eter mitral valve repair (22F), respectively (Fig. 5.9). Many patients with persistent septal defect are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, but a large defect can result in severe heart failure symptoms or acute hypoxemia. In patients with large residual septal defects, advanced ventricular dysfunction, or pulmonary hypertension, routine surveillance of the defect with serial echocardio­grams may be warranted (Fig. 5.10).

Other, less common complications of TSP include venous perforation, aortic puncture, coro-
nary dissection, septal tear, detachment of the sheath’s tip, and acute pericarditis.
Competency in Transseptal Puncture
Data on training in TSP have suggested that the steepest area of the learning curve can be passed with the performance of 25 supervised cases to minimize procedural complications. Although this hands-on experience is achievable in the majority of SHD fellowship programs, additional venues for training include virtual reality simulators (e.g., Procedicus VIST, Mentice AB, Go­thenburg, Sweden; Simbionix, Cleveland, OH) and cross-training with other specialties that routinely perform TSP.
Conclusion
TSP is an essential skill for a growing number of structural heart interventions. Contemporary TSP utilizes advanced imaging modalities and novel ancillary tools to achieve safe site-specific puncture even in patients with difficult anatomy.

Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty
Claire E. Raphael David R. Holmes Jr.
Background
Aortic stenosis (AS) is common in the elderly population, with a prevalence of approximately 3% in patients over 75 years old. The prognosis of symptomatic severe AS is poor, with a 50% mor­tality rate at 2 years; therefore valve replacement is usually recommended once symptoms of shortness of breath, heart failure, or angina occur.
In the majority of elderly patients, the aortic valve is trileaflet (Fig. 6.1, left panel). Patients with severe AS below the age of 65 usually have a congenital bicuspid aortic valve (see Fig. 6.1, central panel). In both cases, the aortic valve becomes progressively calcified with age and leaflet movement is restricted. Rheumatic heart disease may cause premature calcification of the aortic and/or other valves (see Fig. 6.1, right panel).
Indications
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV ) is designed to fissure or fracture the calcified aortic valve and separate fused commissures. The role of BAV depends on the specific clinical setting. In congenital AS where the valve is not significantly calcified, benefits are usually quite durable and it is an accepted destination therapy. This is different to elderly patients with severe calcific degenerative AS in whom BAV is largely performed as a palliative pro­cedure or a bridge to aortic valve replacement (AVR)/or transcatheter aortic valve replace­ment (TAVR).
The reluctance to perform BAV in calcific AS relates to the fact that the injury caused by the balloon also promotes progressive collagenization and formation of new scar tissue, leading to short-lived reduction in aortic gradients and valve area. Symptomatic improvement may persist for up to 6 to 12 months in selected cases after BAV, but the mortality remains high and similar to untreated patients. Restenosis usually occurs within 6 to 12 months of BAV in calcific AS, and results are not durable (Box 6.1).
Other Potential Indications
There are no class I indications for BAV because it has not been shown to have lasting benefits in any disease state.
Young Patients With Congenital Aortic Stenosis
In young patients with congenital AS, BAV may be considered as a therapeutic option. It is thought to have a more durable effect in younger patients who do not have significant valvular
