The line A shows the direction of the needle for the usual Radner approach to the aorta, artery and the left atrium. B is the modified procedure to enter the left ventricle or the right ventricle, The needle may remain in the lumen of the aorta as it progresses inferioriy and then enter the left ventricle through the aOrtic valve. In a frontal position, C demonstrates the needle position just after entry into the left ventricle having passed through the valve at the third intercostal space. FIGURE
