Predictors of iatrogenic atrial septal defects: analysis of fibrotic atrial cardiomyopathy, valvular disease, and transseptal sheath size
Our findings underscore that iASDs post-TSP for left atrial ablation are uncommon and unrelated to TSP sheath size, FACM, or MR, further minimizing concerns for routine interventions in patients with more advanced arrhythmia substrate or valvular disease.
