Thrombosis Occurring During Trans-Septal Puncture with Electrocautery: A Case Report

View through CrossRef
Introduction: Electrocautery-based trans-septal puncture (TSP) offers clinical advantages; however, we report a case of intra-procedural thrombosis, which raises important concerns regarding the safety and risk profile associated with electrocautery. Methods and Results: During radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, electrocautery TSP was performed on a patient with a thick interatrial septum. Left atrial access was achieved on the fourth attempt using electrocautery, and a new hyperechoic cord was observed in the right atrium, indicating acute thrombosis. The thrombus was resolved through heparin anticoagulation and blood withdrawal, allowing the procedure to resume. Conclusion: This case highlights the risks associated with electrocautery TSP and calls for further exploration of clinical solutions to address such challenges.
