AV nodal ablation in tricuspid atresia; anatomical challenges
Patients with congenital heart disease often present unique challenges, especially in the electrophysiology laboratory. Here we present a case of a patient with medically refractory symptomatic atrial tachycardia, tricuspid atresia and a history of a modified Fontan procedure. The approach of an AV node ablation for palliation in our patient was met with challenges in identification of a His-bu...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of AV nodal reentry: the anterior approach.
The ability to cure atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentry with radiofrequency catheter ablation with preservation of antegrade conduction represents a significant clinical advance. It also provides an opportunity to better understand the pathophysiology of this fascinating arrhythmia. Two techniques have been developed for ablation of AV nodal reentry. The first to be described used lesions made ...
متن کاملTricuspid Atresia
Left ventricular dimensions and contractility were determined by echocardiography in 33 patients with tricuspid atresia in 1985 and again in 1988. Eight patients remained palliated throughout the 3-year period; neither the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (153±15% of normal vs. 157+19%o, p=NS) nor a load-independent index of contractility (rate-corrected velocity of shortening [VCFc]/end...
متن کاملTricuspid Atresia Presenting in Infancy
Background. The Fontan operation is the usual goal of therapy for children with tricuspid atresia. The influences of morphology and different management strategies on survival and subsequent suitability for this procedure are crucial but unstudied in an unselected population during the Fontan era. Methods and Results. The fates of 237 consecutive infants with tricuspid atresia were reviewed (19...
متن کاملPalliative Surgery in Tricuspid Atresia
Each of these cases satisfies all or most of the following criteria for tricuspid atresia with diminished pulmonary blood flow: 1. Central cyanosis. 2. Electrocardiogram: (a) normal axis or left axis deviation, (b) preponderance of left ventricular activity over right ventricular activity. The three cases of dextrocardia had right axis deviation and preponderance of lateral ventricular activity...
