Abstract

See full text

A method for performing a therapeutic intervention in a pericardial space of a heart includes delivering a catheter into a right atrium of the heart and steering the catheter so that a distal end of the catheter is positioned adjacent an access site in the right atrium. The distal end of the catheter is anchored in a heart wall of the right atrium adjacent the access site and the heart wall is inverted to separate an exterior surface of the inverted heart wall from contact with parietal pericardial tissue. The inverted heart wall is penetrated to provide access to the pericardial space around the heart. A device is delivered through the penetrating in the inverted heart wall to perform the therapeutic intervention in the pericardial space.
