Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for an optimized transseptal procedure that reduces the number of devices that are used in order to minimize procedural time, complexity and cost. The apparatus comprises a hybrid dilator that comprises the combined functionality of a transseptal sheath and dilator assembly. The hybrid dilator comprises: a dilator shaft defining a lumen for receiving a crossing device therethrough, a distal tip having an outer diameter which tapers down to an outer diameter of the crossing device for providing a smooth transition and a hub coupled with a side arm coupled to the dilator shaft.
