Transseptal puncture during percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) can be technically difficult and challenging in patients with the pericardial or synthetic patch at the interatrial septum following ASD repair. We describe a middle-aged woman who had pericardial patch repair of ASD during childhood and now presented with severe, symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis. She had successful PTMC through a transseptal approach, following the puncture of the pericardial patch. The technical details about the transseptal approach following the surgical patch repair of the ASD are discussed in the article.
