Trans-septal puncture (TSP) is a safe and effective method to approach left atrium and ventricle. Nowadays, cardiac electrophysiologists perform this procedure routinely to treat left-sided arrhythmias.
A 45-year-old man was referred to our center due to Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. After trans-septal puncture, contrast injection into the sheath showed that it was in the left ventricle (LV) rather than left atrium. Trans-esophageal echocardiography confirmed left ventricle outflow tract to right atrial (RA) jet. Follow-up echocardiography showed that the tract was present up to 18 months, but considering that the patient was asymptomatic, endovascular or surgical closure was not done.
Our case with an 18-month follow-up period, highlights the conservative approach in asymptomatic patients with this complication.
经房间隔穿刺术(TSP)是进入左心房和左心室的一种安全有效的方法。如今,心脏电生理学家常规进行此操作以治疗左侧心律失常。
一名45岁男性因预激综合征(WPW)转诊至我们中心。经房间隔穿刺后,向鞘管内注入造影剂显示其位于左心室(LV)而非左心房。经食管超声心动图证实存在左心室流出道至右心房(RA)的分流。随访超声心动图显示该分流持续了18个月,但鉴于患者无症状,未进行血管内或手术封堵。
我们这个随访期为18个月的病例,凸显了对有此并发症的无症状患者采取保守治疗方法的重要性。
