A dedicated radiofrequency microcatheter assembly for trans–right atrial appendage pericardial carbon dioxide insufflation to facilitate epicardial access
In this preclinical study, repeated trans-RAA/LAA perforations with pericardial space access were successfully obtained with a dedicated RF-tip 1.8F microcatheter with no evidence of significant pericardial bleeding.
