Abstract
Three cases which developed shock and traumatic pericarditis following the inadvertent puncture of the free wall of the right atrium by the trans-septal needle are described. All cases showed atrial injury current which was produced presumably by the puncture of the right atrial free wall in 1 case and by subepicardial atrial lesions following pericarditis in the other 2 cases.Keywords
