A Novel Radiofrequency-Assisted Trans–RAA Perforation Technique for Pericardial CO2 Insufflation to Facilitate Epicardial Access
Intentional RAA perforation for pericardial CO<sub>2</sub> insufflation with a custom RF guidewire-microcatheter assembly can be safely and efficiently performed to facilitate epicardial access for ventricular arrhythmias ablation.
