Transverse Sinus
• Floor – roof of the left atrium
• Roof – pulmonary artery bifurcation
• Anterior – ascending aorta
• Posterior – descending aorta
• Access for Bachmann bundle ablation
• Opening in to aortocaval recess
RAO
Oblique Sinus• Anterior – posterior wall of left atrium
• Posterior – anterior wall of esophagus
• Left lateral – fold/vein of Marshall
• Right margin – right pulmonary vein
• Effusion can cause tamponade
• Tissue changes perceived injury to the esophagus is posterior left atrial ablation
• Access for vein of Marshall ablation
• Access for cardiac autonomic ablation
• Posterior boundary includes variable course of the vagus nerve

Distribution of Epicardial Fat
What Structures Can Not Be Accessed Readily from the Pericardial Space?
• Epicardial left ventricular outflow tract
• Supravalvar aortic cusps
• AV node or AV node related pathway
• Septal accessory pathways (except middle vein related)
• Often annular structures (fat, arteries)
• Bundle of His
