Disclosed is an electrically enabled introducer sheath, such as for crossing a septum into a left atrium and guiding a large bore catheter across the septum and into the left atrium. The sheath includes an elongate, flexible tubular body, having a proximal end, a distal end and an electrically conductive sidewall defining a central lumen. A tubular insulation layer surrounds the sidewall and leaves exposed an annular conductive surface at the distal end. The tubular body has a proximal hub, having at least one access port in communication with the central lumen and a connector in electrical communication with the conductive sidewall. The central lumen is configured to receive a radio frequency conducting wire, to facilitate crossing the septum.
