Reviews
The first few chapters focus on embryology and anatomy of the interatrial septum, radiographic anatomy of the atria, indications, contraindications, and equipment for transseptal catheterization. Subsequent chapters provide detailed discussions about various methods, illustrations of challenging cases, complications, and new technologies. The last few chapters cover transseptal techniques in pediatric cardiology, emerging applications in interventional cardiology, and left atrial appendage closure. Numerous figures and illustrations of fluoroscopic images and echocardiograms are easy to understand and concepts are nicely detailed. Flow charts for the important steps and precautions for transseptal interventions as well as schematic representation of these procedures are very easy to follow. The comparative images of fluoroscopy, cardiac CT, and different modalities of echocardiograms help clarify the concepts of atrial anatomy pertinent to transseptal catheterization and the steps in interventions. Tabulated forms of trouble-shooting problems, causes, and solutions are very helpful without going through the text. –Doody (July, 2011)
