Devices and methods are disclosed for providing access to the pericardial cavity while reducing risk of myocardial damage. The methods include maintaining the positions of a puncture device and of a portion of a parietal pericardium relative to one other while delivering energy from the puncture device to create a channel through the pericardium. Additional embodiments disclosed include delivering a pulse or pulses of energy to the parietal pericardium and attempting to advance the puncture device through the parietal pericardium between deliveries of energy pulses.
