Transseptal Puncture
Realistic and comprehensive training of the transseptal puncture
Features & functionalities
- Learn how to puncture the fossa in optimal positions for different procedures, such as mitral valve interventions, LAAO or pulmonary vein isolation
- Visualize and confidently evaluate the risks and benefits of finding the optimal location for puncture placement
- Built-in guidance reduces the need for proctoring and helps optimize the use of both Fluoroscopy and Echo during Transseptal Puncture
- Visual aids such as labeled anatomical structures and 3D visualizations shorten the learning curve and improve understanding of the procedure and underlying anatomy
- Train as a team with an echocardiographer or individually using preset echo views for ICE and TEE
- Includes auto-tracking of devices in Echo to further help workflow
- Practice using 2D, Biplane, and MPR functionalities - Detailed metrics and benchmarking tools allow users to track progress to help optimize training and identify improvement areas
- Built-in complications and warnings show the importance of careful device manipulation
- Ability to run each case with or without assistance to help with retention and identifying knowledge gaps
Training objectives
- Acquire practical knowledge by working in an environment that closely replicates the actual procedure
- Learn how to puncture the fossa in the optimal positions for different procedures
- Confidently learn how to puncture fibrotic and aneurysmal fossa ovalis safely.
- Perfect your workflow utilizing alternative imaging modalities to ensure safe and precise punctures
- Improve how you work as a team with your echocardiographer, or how to manage without oneUnderstand the advantages and disadvantages of various puncture locations.
- Deepen your understanding of the anatomy of the left & right atrium
- Accurately identify important anatomical landmarks
- Utilize needle pressure to confirm locationIdentify inadvertent aortic puncture or tamponade
- Learn when to administer heparin to prevent clot formation
- Safely gain access to the left atrium or pulmonary veins
- Make mistakes (while there are no real consequences)
