Sažetak
Transseptal puncture (TSP) is a procedure that allows transvenous access to the structures of the left heart. TSP has been primarily developed for the evaluation of valvular disease and mitral valvuloplasty, while today, in the era of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), it has become a routine procedure performed by a great number of electrophysiologists. Since there is a constant increase in a number of PVIs in Croatia, TSP is becoming a standard procedure for electrophysiologists. Physicians and staff must therefore be trained in TSP and its potential complication. This review focuses on the historical development of TSP, its technical aspect, indications and complications.
