Abstract

In patients with valvular disease, shunting produced by transseptal catheterization for valvular disease has been described,⁶⁷ even with cases of documented persistence.⁸⁹ Our study demonstrated that transseptal catheterization for radiofrequency catheter ablation of left-sided accessory pathways acutely produced a detectable intracardiac shunt in 6 of 12 patients who had no previous evidence of structural cardiac abnormality or shunting; the clinical significance of this finding remains to be determined.
