Stenting the Atrial Septum: A Hybrid Approach Guided Solely by Echocardiography

Stenting the atrial septum to achieve decompression of the atrium is well described and commonly performed via a percutaneous catheter approach under combined fluoroscopic and echocardiographic guidance. We describe two successful cases of a hybrid approach to atrial stenting under echocardiographic guidance alone, as a viable alternative approach. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12310 (J Card Surg 2014;29:561–563)
