Transseptal puncture for atrial fibrillation ablation in a patient with previous Tirone David intervention: the role of real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography guidance

J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown). 2009 Jul;10(7):563-4. doi: 10.2459/JCM.0b013e32832c608b.

Abstract

In this case report we describe the important role of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography guidance in performing double transseptal puncture for atrial fibrillation ablation in a patient who underwent a previous Tirone David intervention.
