Abstract

Transcatheter pulmonary vein recanalisation is challenging. Herein, we described a novel technique facilitating the recanalisation of occluded three pulmonary veins in two small children. This technique enhances the catheter’s alignment and stability during the recanalisation process. Referred to as the “anchoring guide catheter” technique, it can be applied only when the ipsilateral vein is patent.
