Abstract
Transseptal cardiac catheterization has been performed in 56 patients. In each instance, satisfactory pressure tracings were recorded from the left atrium. The left ventricle was entered in 71 per cent of those cases in which entrance was attempted, and satisfactory data were recorded by means of a polyethylene filament catheter inserted through the transseptal needle. The advantages of this procedure as a means of obtaining left heart data have been discussed.
