| Core Tip |
In recent years, the number of percutaneous therapeutic techniques requiring trans-septal cathe-terization has increased. We present the case of a 69-year-old man with a ten-year history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Access to the left atrium proved difficult and several unsuccessful attempts to perform the trans-septal puncture were made under both fluoroscopy and intracardiac echocardiography guidance, even with radiofrequency energy delivery. Finally, trans-septal puncture was successfully performed using a novel nitinol “SafeSept” trans-septal guidewire. If the interatrial septum is thickened, scarred, fibrous, too mobile and/or aneurismal, the use of the “SafeSept” guidewire may be a safe and effective option.
