💡 #EPeeps ever wondered if transseptal access is still possible in patients with septal occluder devices?
👉 Spoiler: It is — if you know 🫀 anatomy.
🤓 Our latest #HeartRhythm publication explored how to safely perform #TSP for AF ablation in patients with atrial septal occluders.
👏 Congrats to Prof. @Phiso_de and @MoneebKhalaph Khalaph for leading and writing the systematic evaluation of transseptal access in patients with septal occluders!
👉 🧩 Grateful to contribute with anatomical correlations that helped turn a complex challenge into a reproducible clinical pathway.
👇 Here’s the key insights:
✅ Anatomical precision makes all the difference.
✅ When you map the interatrial septum in relation to various occluder types, you’ll find a consistent area that remains accessible, even after device implantation, and usually located at the posterior-inferior aspect of the Fossa Ovalis.
✅ With detailed imaging + a strong understanding of spatial relationships, we showed that this approach is not only feasible but also reproducible.
🧠 This isn’t just about technique — It’s about respecting anatomy.
