A preserved transseptal puncture zone in a novel PFO occluder enables safe repeat left atrial interventions: preclinical validation in a porcine model

A preserved transseptal puncture zone in a novel PFO occluder enables safe repeat left atrial interventions: preclinical validation in a porcine model

BackgroundConventional nickel-titanium patent foramen ovale (PFO) occluders hinder transseptal puncture due to septal obstruction, limiting access for left-heart interventions. To address this, we developed a modified PFO occluder with a designated puncturable zone.MethodsAn artificial PFO model was...
