Popis: Delineate retrospectively and prospectively the incidence and characteristics of transient ST-segment elevation during transseptal puncture. The study retrospectively evaluated 307 patients from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017, and prospectively evaluated 231 patients from January 1, 2018, to July 31, 2019. The presence of ST-segment elevation was significantly higher in the prospective sample than in the retrospective sample (5.2% vs. 1.3%, p 2 mm and the presence of symptoms. In these patients, coronary angiography showed no alterations. Atropine was administered to one patient who presented with junctional bradycardia after the puncture. This medication reversed the situation. ST-segment elevation is a short-term phenomenon that can occur during transseptal catheterization without clinically evident symptoms. The catheter ablation procedure can be safely concluded despite the occurrence of the phenomenon.
