The Application of Intracardiac Ultrasound in Atrial Septal Puncture
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of atrial septal puncture assisted by intracardiac ultrasound, and to evaluate the value of intracardiac ultrasound in atrial septal puncture. Methods: Sixty patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation for the first time were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in experimental group underwent intraventricular ultrasound-assisted atrial septal puncture, while those in control group underwent X-ray guided atrial septal puncture. The success rate, puncture time and complications of the two groups were compared. Results: All atrial septal puncture was successful in the experimental group, while one-time puncture was successful in 21 cases and unsuccessful in 9 cases in the control group with a success rate of 83.33%. There was significant difference in puncture success rate between the two groups. Moreover, the puncture time of the experimental group (5.00±1.5 min) was significantly shorter than that of the control group (6.90±1.32 min). Furthermore, the complication rates of the experimental group and the control group were 10% and 13.33%, respectively, with no significant difference. Conclusion: Ultrasound-assisted atrial septal puncture was significantly superior to X-ray guided atrial septal puncture, with high puncture success rate, short puncture time and fewer complications.
