Kit for piercing the cardiac septum and implanting a transseptal probe, in particular a probe for detection/stimulation of a left cavity of the heart

摘要

The kit has a radiofrequency puncture generator (32) connected to an electrical connector (20) of a screw catheter (16). A projecting helical screw (24) has an electrically insulated distal traction part (34) extending an electrically conductive proximal cutting part (36) that allows controlled application of radiofrequency energy to the screw concurrently with screwing movement of a head (22) of the catheter, such that the catheter assures boring of a cardiac septum wall (10) until the head traverses cardiac septum to implant the catheter via transseptal path.
