Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography-guided transseptal puncture for percutaneous mitral valve edge-to-edge repair post-percutaneous atrial septal defect closure

Clin Case Rep. 2023 Aug 11;11(8):e7794. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.7794. eCollection 2023 Aug.

Abstract

Key clinical message: Three-dimensional multiplanar analysis and real-time three-dimensional guidance using transesophageal echocardiography can help to identify and access the ideal position for transseptal puncture even in the presence of atrial septal occluders.

Abstract: Transseptal puncture (TSP) for the percutaneous mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (PMVR) after percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure is a rare and challenging issue. Here, we present a case illustrating the feasibility of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic guidance for TSP without ASD closure device injury.

Keywords: atrial septal defect closure; percutaneous mitral valve edge‐to‐edge repair; three‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography; transseptal puncture.
