Practice Your Left Atrial Access
The module provides practice for left atrial access via the intra-atrial septum (fossa ovalis) using a correct and safe puncture technique, under fluoroscopic and echocardiographic guidance. During the simulation, life-threatening complications such as pericardial effusion or aortic puncture will need to be attended to. The module includes 11 cases, presenting patient anatomies that vary in the coronary sinus, right atrium, and aorta location and in fossa ovalis size, stiffness, and location. The procedure can be performed with ultrasound guidance with both ICE and TEE. Case 11 is a self-guided tutorial case that gives step-by-step instructions, including illustrations, images, visual guidance on the fluoro/ultrasound screen and real movies showing procedural steps.
