During an atrial fibrillation procedure, a pericardial effusion occurred in the right atrium requiring a pericardiocentesis.Following transseptal puncture, prior to inserting the volt catheter the pericardial effusion was observed with the ice catheter.Protamine was administered, and when performing the pericardiocentesis, the blood was noted to be venous in nature.The patient is stable.It is unknown what caused the pericardial effusion; however, it could have been caused by maneuvering the catheter in the coronary sinus or by maneuvering the introducer for transeptal puncture.There were no alleged performance issues with any abbott devices.
