A member asked:
Is a transeptal puncture required to access the left ventricular during an ep study for ventricular tachycardia? if so, is it as risky as a-fib?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the tachycardia: is originating from a left sided focus either transeptal approach or retrograde approach across the aortic valve would be necessary. Any time you are intervening on the left side there are slightly increased risks but in experienced hands this is no more concerning than any other interventional procedure.
