Authors' Reply to "Anatomic Twist to a Straightforward Ablation'

We appreciate the thoughtful comments of Dr. Chase, Dr. Devi A and Dr. John regarding our case report [1] of a patient who underwent AV junction ablation via a congenitally abnormal venous system. Our patient had an interrupted inferior vena cava which continued as the azygos vein, in turn draining into the superior vena cava. Ablation was successfully performed with the ablation catheter throu...

Anatomic Twist to a Straightforward Ablation

Atrioventricular (AV) junction ablation for treatment of refractory atrial fibrillation is a well defined, standardized procedure and the simplest of commonly performed radiofrequency ablations in the field of cardiac electrophysiology. We report successful AV junction ablation using an inferior approach in a case of inferior vena cava interruption. Inability during the procedure to initially p...
