Study Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial examining whether a mechanical needle versus a needle that uses radiofrequency energy is better at puncturing through a thin wall in the heart (called "transseptal puncture") as measured by procedure time, during an electrical procedure/study of the heart .

Primary Outcome

Total amount of procedure time, from the beginning of the transseptal procedure until left atrium (LA) access is obtained in each patient. Participants for whom puncture failed crossed over to the other Intervention. Analysis performed on an intention-to-treat basis.
