Transseptal puncture (TSP) is a prerequisite for left atrial catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, requiring access from the right side of the heart. It is a demanding procedural step associated with complications, including inadvertent puncturing and application of large forces on the tissue wall. Robotic systems have shown great potential to overcome such challenges by introducing force-sen...
