Atrial pacing during radiofrequency ablation of junctional ectopic tachycardia--a useful technique for avoiding atrioventricular bloc.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) was performed on a 5-year-old boy with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) that was refractory to medical management. Because of the lack of retrograde atrial depolarization during tachycardia, radiofrequency energy was delivered during atrial overdrive pacing to confirm the presence of preserved atrioventricular (AV) conduction. Although the ...
متن کاملJunctional Ectopic Tachycardia
Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) often occurs in the setting of surgery for congenital heart disease [1]. A congenital variety of JET not related to any surgery has also been described [2]. While post surgical JET has a mortality upto 14% [1], congenital JET has a mortality upto 34% [3]. A case of JET associated with myocarditis, has also been reported [4]. Electrocardiographic diagnosis of...

PURPOSE To report the management of junctional ectopic tachycardia after cardiac surgery in an infant. Postoperatively, the patient suffered profound cardiac decompensation secondary to the accelerated rhythm and required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for haemodynamic support. CLINICAL FEATURES A 14-day-old, 3.5 kg boy exhibited junctional ectopic tachycardia after cardiopulmonar...
متن کامل1138 Transcatheter Ablation of Ectopic Atrial Tachycardia in Young Patients Using Radiofrequency Current
Background. Ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) is a reversible cause of cardiomyopathy but may be quite difficult to control with conventional therapy. Transcatheter ablation with radiofrequency current was tested as an alternative to medical or surgical treatment of this condition. Methods and Results. Twelve young patients (aged 10 months to 19 years) with drug-resistant EAT were treated with d...
متن کاملSuccessful radiofrequency catheter ablation therapy of an adolescent with atrial ectopic tachycardia.
Atrial ectopic tachycardia is an incessant supraventricular tachycardia and is frequently refractory to medical treatment. Because it can cause tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, early diagnosis and treatment is important. We present a 16-year-old boy who was diagnosed as atrial ectopic tachycardia. The tachycardia, originating from the lower region of the right atrium along the crista termina...
