Abstract
A method for accessing the left atrial appendage with a balloon-tipped transseptal sheath is disclosed. A transseptal sheath is delivered to the left atrium through the intraatrial septum from the right atrium. The balloon tip may be inflated to prevent the transseptal sheath from falling proximally into the right atrium. The inflated balloon tip permits safe probing and exploration of the left atrial appendage and facilitates safe maintenance of the position of the transseptal sheath within the left atrial appendage while delivering an implantable device to the left atrial appendage.
