Embodiment Construction
[0044]Several embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a system and method for performing catheterization of a body structure from a standard catheter insertion site, advancing a guidewire into the body structure from that insertion site, and transferring the proximal end of the guidewire to an alternative insertion site while leaving the distal end of the guidewire within the body structure. The transferred guidewire may then be used for the placement of a second device or to perform a desired procedure from the alternative insertion site. Some embodiments relate to methods for standard transseptal puncture of the left atrium from a femoral vein, where the guidewire is then transferred from the femoral insertion site to a subclavian vein insertion site for the implantation of a left atrial pressure-monitoring device. Several embodiments described herein are also generally applicable to other sites of catheter and device insertion. Methods for transferring a medical ...
