Impact of Breathing and Anatomical Constraints on Subxiphoid Epicardial Puncture: Insights From a Japanese Cohort

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study reveals that respiratory phase and anthropometric parameters significantly impact the xiphoid‐to‐pericardium distance, with expiration increasing the depth. These findings support the use of preprocedural ultrasound to optimize subxiphoid epicardial access, enhance safety, and inform needle selection based on individual anatomical ...
