Abstract
Access through the right superior pulmonary vein is a commonly used route for left ventricular vent insertion. Complex reshaping of the stylet and vent into a certain position or external guidance do not guarantee successful placement. In this article we describe a modified technique where the stylet sets up the position to allow consistent atraumatic advancement of the catheter across the mitral valve.
