Key Clinical Message The presence of a Gore‐Tex patch can create difficulty in performing transeptal puncture for atrial septal defect patients underwent atrial fibrillation ablation. The maneuverability and stability of using manually operated catheters via retrograde aortic approach could be overcome by a large‐curved catheter to form a loop facilitating approachability to all parts of left atrium.
