The sustained apnea for epicardial access with right ventriculography technique (SAFER epicardial approach) has been previously shown to be effective and safe (1). However, it requires a brief period of unprotected needle dwell time within the pericardium while the operator switches the contrast syringe for a guidewire. This transition period, though brief, raises concerns regarding the potential risk of inadvertent perforation of the right ventricular (RV) wall given the systolic-diastolic excu
