Risks and Safety Protocols
Despite being invasive, the complication rate in 2026 is less than 1% at high-volume centers. Potential risks include:
Arrhythmias: Brief "skips" in heart rhythm as the bioptome touches the wall.
Vascular Injury: Bleeding at the neck or groin entry site.
Perforation: A rare but serious risk where the bioptome punctures the heart wall, leading to cardiac tamponade (fluid buildup). In 2026, real-time Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) is often used to monitor for this in real-time.
