AI Article Synopsis
- Right ventricular perforation can be a serious risk during catheter-based heart procedures, making it crucial to understand the structure of the right ventricle.
- The article presents detailed visual aids, including dissection images and endoscopic visuals, that clearly highlight the anatomy of the right ventricle, particularly areas vulnerable to perforation.
- By recognizing the specific anatomical features illustrated, healthcare providers can better navigate procedures and potentially minimize the risk of this severe complication.
Article Abstract
Right ventricular perforation is a catastrophic complication of catheter-based intracardiac interventions. In this context, appreciation of 5 attachments of the right ventricle to the aortoventricular unit is essential to recognize extent of right ventricular free wall. We herein present progressive dissection and virtual and photographic endoscopic images of the hearts without distortion. Real dissection images show us how and where to avoid this complication by indicating the true muscular component of the ventricular septum. Both virtual and photographic endoscopic images, when combined with transillumination, beautifully shows the thin wall regions and trabeculations with unprecedented clarity. We believe recognition of these anatomical nuances can reduce the likelihood of right ventricular perforation.
