Diverticulum of the posterior left atrial wall.
Diverticula of the left atrium are very rare malformations of unknown etiology and may be associated with arrhythmias, thromboembolism, or mitral valve regurgitation. We report a patient with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in whom we performed a low-dose computed tomography coronary angiography using prospective electrocardiogram triggering. CAD could be ruled out. Incidentally, we fou...
متن کاملThe presence of left atrial posterior wall fibrillation despite restoration of sinus rhythm after posterior box ablation
Introduction Catheter ablation plays an important role in the management of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), though recurrences of AF following ablation in patients with this condition remains high. There is general agreement that catheter ablation for AF should include pulmonary vein antral isolation (PVAI). The location and extent of ablation that should be performed beyond PVAI for the m...
متن کامل3D Intracardiac Echocardiography/CartoSound™ Imaging of Esophagus Guided Left Atrial Posterior Wall Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation.
Two imaging cases highlight the important role of 3D ICE/Cartosound™ in the intracardiac echocardiographic imaging of esophagus and Cartosound™ guidance of radiofrequency lesions delivered safely at the left atrial posterior wall adjacent to esophagus during atrial fibrillation ablation.
متن کاملConfluent Extended Posterior Left Atrial Wall Ablation: Thinking Inside the Box
Here, we report intermediate follow-up details after using a technique of confluent posterior left atrial wall epicardial ablation designed to eliminate both existing and future atrial fibrillation (AF) substrates. The method is part of the Convergent hybrid procedure for AF ablation. In this study, multiple confluent epicardial ablations with radiofrequency energy were delivered, spanning the ...
متن کاملComplete Isolation of the Left Atrial Posterior Wall (Box Lesion) to Treat Longstanding Persistent Atrial Fibrillation.
INTRODUCTION The left atrial posterior wall has been shown to play na important role in AF pathophysiology. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the efficacy of an ablation strategy designed to completely isolate the LA posterior wall, on top of PV isolation. Methods and Results: 25 pts (72% male age 65 ± 12 years) undergoing AF ablation for persistent or long term persistent AF. Mean AF duration was 11 ± 3 mo...
