Jugular/Subclavian Solution†
Left Atrial Access from Any Approach.™
Perform transseptal access using an alternate approach with the SupraCross® Steerable Sheath and SupraCross® RF Wire.
When the conventional solution may not be optimal, use SupraCross® RF Solution to gain alternate access into the left atrium.
Alternate Access Solution includes: RF Wire and Steerable Sheath
3-in-1 SupraCross® RF Wire
1. Puncture
Cross normal, fibrotic, and aneurysmal septa1,2,3,4 with a short, focused RF energy pulse.‡
2. Anchor
Instantly secure and maintain left atrial access with a flexible spiral tip1.
3. Exchange
Support sheath exchange with a sturdy 0.035" stainless steel rail2.
Precision Steerable Sheath
TruGlide™ Handling
Responsive, smooth, high-precision steering to confidently position your curve.
Flexible Dilator
A fully steerable sheath with flexible dilator to facilitate navigating complex anatomy and precise positioning on the fossa2.
ACCESS FROM ANY APPROACH
Optimized transseptal approach may be required in:
- Mitral valve repair 5
- Left ventricular tachycardia ablation 6
- Pulmonary vein isolation 1,2,7,8
- Left atrial appendage occlusion 9
which have been previously performed successfully via jugular venous approach.
