Transesophageal Echocardiography-Guided Transseptal Puncture Reduces Pericardial Tamponade in Electrophysiological Procedures

Transesophageal Echocardiography-Guided Transseptal Puncture Reduces Pericardial Tamponade in Electrophysiological Procedures

<b>Background</b>: Transseptal puncture (TSP) is a critical step in electrophysiological (EP) procedures, as a misdirected TSP can result in life-threatening complications. Although TSP is predominantly performed under fluoroscopic guidance in EP procedures, transesophageal echocardiogra...
