Core Tip	Visible Heart? methodologies are utilized to directly visualize a functional human heart anatomy and key steps in the cardiac ablation procedure to emphasize limitations of current device delivery systems. Speci-fically, these images illustrate potential risks of trans-septal punctures as well as the challenges faced by clinicians when placing catheter tips in certain scenarios, considering the wide variation in human anatomy. The focus is on where enhancements are needed to refine device functionality and improve therapeutic approaches.
