what point the needle leaves the catheter end, and marks this distance with the right thumb. The right thumb position is used to keep the needle inside the catheter and protect from inadvertent needle damage.
2. To mark the aortic valve level as an anatomic reference point, place a pigtail catheter in the sinus of Valsalva at the aortic valve. For patients with an aortic valve prosthesis visible on fluoroscopy or when echocardiography is used, a pigtail catheter is not needed. In all cases, monitor the aortic or systemic arterial pres­sure during trans-septal puncture.
3. Use fluoroscopy to determine landmarks for puncture. Figure 7-4 shows a right anterior oblique (RAO) projection, at which a
https://t.me/med1917
horizontal line is drawn from the lower end of the pigtail catheter that intersects with the vertical line of the RA border. The fossa ovale is typically 1 cm below this line at its midpoint. If a left anterior oblique (LAO) projection is available, the operator can help to ensure a posterior orientation of the needle trajectory. In this view, the location of the fossa ovale is typically two-thirds of the distance from the aorta to the posterior wall of the LA (Fig. 7-5).
4. Advance a 0.032-inch guidewire to the SVC via the right femoral
vein.
5. Advance the trans-septal catheter (and sheath) over the guidewire
to the SVC. It is important to have the end of the catheter in the SVC before removing the guidewire, because this position mini­mizes the need for superior movement of the assembly. Withdraw the wire and then aspirate the catheter.
6. Advance the trans-septal needle through the catheter. As the
trans-septal needle is passed through the trans-septal catheter to the SVC, rotate it at three points along its course to facilitate move­ment through the pelvic vessels. The first is at the iliac crest, the second over the spine near the renal vein, and the third at the inferior junction of the cardiac silhouette. The needle should rotate freely over these three segments and slide smoothly up through the trans-septal catheter. Damage to the catheter or injury to the patient can occur if the needle does not rotate freely.
Position the needle in the SVC with the needle tip kept within the catheter, whose position was previously noted by the finger separation of the hub from the sheath. Connect the needle to a pressure transducer for continuous observation of atrial pressure during septal crossing.
7. Withdraw the catheter and needle assembly, now held fixed together, downward (caudally) from the SVC into the RA with a clockwise rotation of the metal arrow indicator of the needle angle pointing posterior-medially between a 3 o’clock and 5 o’clock position (see Fig. 7-3).
8. On withdrawal downward into the RA, pass the catheter assembly over the aortic knob with a forward motion, and on further with­drawal, pass under the superior limbus into the fossa ovale. Slightly advance the catheter-needle assembly until making secure contact with the atrial septum. Approximately 15% to 20% of patients have a patent foramen ovale, which allows unob­structed passage of the catheter assembly into the LA without needle puncture.
9. After the catheter and needle assembly makes secure contact with the atrial septum, maintain firm pressure on the sheath and catheter and advance the needle into the septum while continuously moni­toring pressure waveforms. When echocardiography is used, per form imaging to demonstrate indentation of the atrial septum by the needle and a posterior orientation of the assembly (Fig. 7-6).
10. Observe the LA pressure waveforms to note entry of the needle into the LA. If the operator is in doubt about the location of the needle tip, aspirate blood to determine oxygen saturation (which should be arterial) or inject a small amount of contrast material under fluoroscopy. After confirming the proper positioning of the needle in the LA, advance it slightly and advance the catheter over the needle with a counterclockwise rotation of the needle, which permits the trans-septal catheter to turn anteriorly toward the mitral valve. The operator can give small amounts of contrast during manipulation across the septum to help avoid injury of the posterior or superior walls of the atrium.

11. The operator can advance the sheath over the trans-septal cath­eter. This advancement can be performed with or without removal of the needle, with fixation of the catheter. Of note, during the advancement of the sheath, the relatively abrupt transition between the catheter and sheath can cause the assembly to be pushed off the atrial septum back into the RA with loss of trans­septal access. To help minimize this error, use gentle forward pressure with care to avoid inadvertent forward movement of the assembly. This forward pressure can be applied after withdrawing the needle and reinserting a preshaped guidewire (e.g., Inoue wire).
12. To access the LV, insert a guidewire into the trans-septal catheter or sheath and advance across the mitral valve and into the LV. Do not turn the sheath without a wire or dilator in place, because it is thin-walled and easily kinked. Pass a balloon catheter (filled with carbon dioxide to minimize risk in the event of balloon rupture) through the trans-septal sheath, and float the catheter into the LV. The operator can transduce the balloon catheter for ventricular pressure or use it as a rail for passing the trans-septal catheter into the LV.
13. Give heparin (70 U/kg IV) once trans-septal access has been suc­cessfully obtained.
Of note, the fossa ovale is located in the middle third of the atrial septum and is concave toward the LA in a normal heart. Valvular disease may significantly alter the location of the fossa ovale. In aortic valve disease, a dilated ascending aorta may displace the fossa supe­riorly and anteriorly. In mitral valve disease, the LA usually enlarges posteriorly and inferiorly and displaces the fossa ovale inferiorly. In severe mitral disease, the fossa may become everted and displaced into the lower third of the septum. This makes the fossa difficult to locate on catheter descent, and trans-septal puncture technique must be modified accordingly.
In some patients, the atrial septum can be thickened and difficult to cross with the trans-septal needle or catheter assembly. A trans­septal method using radiofrequency energy to ablate the atrial septum has been developed. A needle, which is fully insulated excepted for the 21-gauge tip, is connected to a generator that creates monopolar output to deliver 10 W of energy for 2 seconds (Baylis Medical Company, Quebec, CA). Comparing the radiofrequency method with conventional trans-septal needle techniques, a randomized trial showed a shorter time to trans-septal puncture (2.3 min vs. 7.3 min) and a higher rate of success (100% vs. 72.2%) with radiofrequency.
When there is concern about the forward pressure needed to advance a trans-septal needle or catheter assembly, the atrial septum can be initially crossed with a low-profile guidewire. In this technique, the catheter assembly and needle is used to indent the septum, fol­lowed by advancement of a 135-cm 0.014-inch nitinol wire (SafeSept,

Pressure Products, San Pedro, CA). The tip of this wire is sharp to allow relatively easy passage across the septum; once across, the preshaped configuration helps to prevent inadvertent injury from forward advancement of the catheter assembly into the LA.
Risks of Trans-Septal Catheterization
Punctures of the aortic root, the coronary sinus (CS), or the posterior free wall of the atrium are potentially lethal complications (Box 7-1). In patients who have not been given anticoagulants, the 21-gauge tip of the needle rarely causes a problem. However, if the large trans­septal catheter assembly is advanced into these spaces, cardiac tam­ponade can easily occur. The catheter-needle combination should not be advanced if the operator is not satisfied with the position of the trans-septal catheter in the right atria. If the catheter assembly is not in the correct position, the operator must remove the trans-septal needle, reinsert the guidewire to the SVC, and reposition the assembly toward the fossa ovale, as indicated earlier.
Direct Left Ventricular Puncture
The development of retrograde arterial catheterization and trans­septal techniques has enabled clinicians to access the LV without direct puncture in the vast majority of patients. Nonetheless, there remain diagnostic and therapeutic indications for this technique, especially with the advent of transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Due to the high potential for complications, only experienced operators should perform direct LV puncture.
Indications
The indications for direct left ventricular puncture are:
1. Direct hemodynamic assessment of the LV and left ventriculogra-
phy, when diagnostic data cannot be obtained using other vascular access or from noninvasive imaging evaluations. This indication occurs mainly in patients who have undergone replacement of the mitral and aortic valves with mechanical prostheses.
2. Structural heart interventions whose therapies are either deliv-
ered through the LV apex or require the creation of transcatheter heart rails for delivery. These therapies include mitral valve placement and percutaneous closure of paravalvular prosthetic regurgitation.
Direct LV puncture should be avoided in patients with intracar­diac thrombus and those on therapeutic anticoagulation.

Technique
Direct LV puncture is most commonly performed with echocardio­graphic guidance. Recently, techniques with guidance from CT overlay in the catheterization laboratory also have been developed (see
Fusion Imaging to Facilitate Cardiac Catheterization later).
When relying on echocardiography, the LV apex is imaged from the apical window to determine the direction of the long axis of the LV at a position that is superior to the rib margin. The operator memo­rizes this angle and marks the position in the chest with an indelible pen. Following sterile prepping of the puncture area, an 18-gauge needle with a Teflon sheath is inserted. Some operators prefer needles with stylets to avoid coring of the myocardium, whereas others choose to connect the needle to a pressure transducer for hemodynamic monitoring during insertion. Once the needle enters the LV, it is advanced 2 to 3 mm further to ensure that the outer Teflon sheath is fully advanced into the LV. The needle is then removed, leaving the sheath in place for diagnostic use or therapeutic interventions. Note that after its removal, the needle should not be reintroduced into the Teflon sheath in the patient. Figures 7-7 and 7-8 illustrate a typical case of direct LV puncture and associated hemodynamics.
Following completion of the procedure, the apical access site can be closed with placement of an occlude device. Currently, there are no FDA-approved devices for closure of the LV apex, but several devices (AMPLATZER Muscular VSD Occluder, AMPLATZER Duct Occluder, and AMPLATZER Vascular Plug II, St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN) have been used. Following reversal of anticoagulation, the distal disk of the closure device is withdrawn until secured to the endocar­dial surface of the LV. Positioning can be identified by landmarks on adjunctive imaging and confirmed by contrast injection through the sheath. The entire device is then uncovered, such that the proximal disk is on the epicardial surface. At that time, elongation and systolic compression of the device should be noted through the cardiac cycle to confirm correct placement.
Complications
The patient should be observed carefully for hemopericardium, hemo­thorax, or pneumothorax. Should any of these complications occur, they can be treated with direct aspiration or surgery as needed. A vasovagal reaction with bradycardia and hypotension may be encoun­tered. Bleeding complications may result from laceration of the left anterior descending, its branches, or intercostal arteries. Patients who have had previous cardiac surgery usually have obliterated pericardial space, which decreases the likelihood of cardiac tamponade.
Fusion Imaging to Facilitate Cardiac Catheterization
When performing cardiac catheterization, fusion imaging, which merges two or more imaging sources (e.g., echocardiography, CT, and fluoroscopy), helps to overcome the spatial limitations of a single imaging source. This integration, made possible through the use of proprietar y software, leads to benefits of individualized planning and guidance to improve procedural accuracy and safety.
Computed Tomography Angiography–Fluoroscopy Fusion Imaging
Fusion imaging using computed tomography angiography (CTA) and fluoroscopy imaging provides a three-dimensional (3D) model that allows important cardiac and surrounding structures to be identified, while preserving the temporal resolution of fluoroscopy. All patients

undergo a preprocedural CTA (preferably, 256-slice) with retrospec­tive electrocardiogram (ECG)-gating. DICOM data of a single phase, typically diastolic, 75% of the R–R interval are subsequently uploaded to the fusion workstation. These preprocedural two-dimensional (2D) images are volume-rendered in three dimensions, followed by seg­mentation to identify the ventricles, valves, ribs, coronary arteries, and great vessels, with optimization depending on information needed (Figs. 7-9 and 7-10). Landmarks are placed for each site-specific access approach. The CTA images are registered by markers (e.g., bronchi/ carina, prosthetic valve frame, pacemaker wires, aorta, and coronary arteries) in two views taken ≥30 degrees apart. For live overlay, volume- rendered, 3D images are replaced with an outlined view of the seg­mented cardiac structures. During the procedure, 3D rendered images are displayed in real time with the same perspective as the synchro ­nized fluoroscopic C-arm.
For transapical access, required cardiac structures include the ribs, left lung, and left anterior descending artery. Preselected land­marks are placed to identify skin entry, LV epicardial entry site, and structural defect. A “safe path” or cylinder is generated, connecting the landmarks such that a direct line is made into the LV away from lung parenchyma, coronary arteries, and papillary muscles (Fig. 7-11). The skin is entered with the needle trajectory confirmed in RAO and LAO views. The LAO view is en face such that the landmarks and cylinder are completely in line, generating a target into the LV. With CTA-fluoroscopic fusion imaging, the accuracy of transapical punc­ture is usually within 5 mm of intended entry.
For trans-septal puncture using CTA-fluoroscopic fusion imaging, a landmark is placed on the interatrial septum typically at the fossa ovalis (Fig. 7-12). Standard trans-septal puncture techniques, as described earlier, can then be used.
Transesophageal echocardiography–Fluoroscopy Fusion Imaging
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)–fluoroscopy fusion im­aging merges live echocardiography and fluoroscopy in a volumetri­cally fused image dataset. This type of imaging does not require contrast and overcomes some limitations of CTA, including lack of motion compensation and nonsimultaneous data acquisition. None­theless, imaging with TEE-fluoroscopy is restricted to the echocardio­graphic field of view. In TEE-fluoroscopy, 2D and 3D images are obtained using the IE33 echocardiographic system with an X7-2t TEE probe (Philips Healthcare, Andover, MA). The fluoroscopy table is placed with the echocardiographic probe tip at the center of the reg­istration window with the entire TEE faceplate well visualized.

Preprocedural two-dimensional (2D) computed tomographic angiography (CTA) images are 3D volume­rendered and automatically segmented to identify cardiac structures includ­ing the left ventricle (LV; red), left atrium (green), and aor ta (orange). Additional structures that can be manually segmented include the coronary arteries (purple; extending from the aortic root), mitral annular calcification/ prosthetic valve (yellow), lung (purple), and ribs (orange). Landmarks are then placed to identify skin, LV entr y, center of mitral prosthesis (MV), paraval­vular leak (PVL), and trans-septal entry (blue circle; TRSEPT ). A “safe path” is generated, connecting the skin and LV entry landmarks toward the PVL (red cylinder) or MV (yellow cylinder) for transapical access.

Landmarks are placed and subsequently overlayed onto fluoroscopy. Changes in position or angulation of the TEE probe are immediately re-registered and updated on the live fluoroscopic image. Four viewing windows are available: (1) echo view, which mimics the display of traditional echocardiographic images; (2) C-arm view, which displays the echocardiographic images in reference to the C-arm orientation; (3) free view, which allows the interventionalist and echocardiogra­pher to freely move the echocardiographic image while keeping track of virtual C-arm orientation; and (4) x-ray view, the traditional fluoro­scopic 2D image with overlayed landmarks (Fig. 7-13). For trans-septal access, a landmark is placed on the interatrial septum at an appropri­ate site on the septum in x-plane and confirmed in a 3D view. These views can then be used to guide trans-septal access.
