Understanding atrial anatomy enables various surgical approaches to the left atrioventricular valve. This review details common and alternative transseptal techniques, highlighting their anatomical basis and clinical merits for cardiac procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Anatomy
  • Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • Knowledge of atrial and interatrial septum anatomy is crucial for accessing the left atrioventricular valve.
  • The Waterston's or Sondegaard's groove approach is commonly employed.

Purpose:

  • To review the anatomical and technical foundations of different surgical approaches to the left atrioventricular valve.
  • To compare the merits of various transseptal techniques.

Summary:

  • Several surgical routes exist for left atrioventricular valve access, including the Waterston's/Sondegaard's groove, Dubost's transseptal technique, vertical transseptal approach (Berreklouw-Guiraudon), biatrial inferior transseptal approach (Couëtil), and Saksena's approach.
  • Each technique offers distinct advantages and is relevant in specific clinical scenarios.
