Learn best practices for transseptal puncture techniques from Dr. Bradley Knight, Director of Electrophysiology at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
This special presentation includes on overview of mechanical and powered transseptal puncture techniques, and features transseptal puncture demonstrations using a porcine bench model that Dr. Knight’s research team has previously established in peer-reviewed publications.
Through these demonstrations, Dr. Knight discusses the data his research team and others have collected on the impact of different techniques (including electrocautery or “Bovie”) on transseptal puncture effectiveness and safety.
