Abstract
- We performed a second puncture of the extracardiac conduit in an 11-year-old Fontan patient to assess the patency of the stent previously deployed in the left pulmonary vein. For the first puncture, a mechanical Brockenbrough needle was selected to puncture the Gore-Tex conduit, an electrical insulator. For the second puncture, the location of that previous hole was detected as an indentation covered with atrial tissue, which is an electrical conductor. The second puncture was performed safely using a radiofrequency transseptal needle.
