The authors review an anatomic approach to transseptal puncture incorporating multimodality imaging both pre- and intraprocedurally with stepwise escalation algorithms to ensure safe and efficacious large-bore transseptal puncture.
Keywords: anatomic approach; left atrial intervention; structural heart disease; transseptal puncture.
