Toronto Transseptal Catheter
The Toronto Transseptal Catheter is designed to create a controlled transseptal puncture through the atrial septum by delivering radiofrequency energy. Physicians have used the catheter when confronted with a septum that is thick, fibrotic, aneurysmal, or when the left atrium is very small.
The catheter is more controlled at crossing the septum than a traditional transseptal needle, and is more effective than a needle at crossing a difficult septum. Unlike the transseptal needle, the Toronto Transseptal Catheter does not rely on mechanical force and is more flexible than a needle at approaching your puncture site.
