Successful transseptal puncture through tortuous inferior vena cava with a novel transseptal guidewire: a case report
Inferior vena cava tortuosity is one of the major causes of unsuccessful atrial transseptal puncture, even under the guidance of intracardiac echocardiography. The new transseptal wire should be the initial selection rather than a conventional transseptal needle when encountering severe inferior vena cava tortuosity.
