Successful radiofrequency pulmonary vein isolation in a patient with pneumonectomy.
Among electrophysiologic procedures, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging, requiring the isolation of all pulmonary veins (PVs). AF is associated with serious complications including PV stenosis. Presently described was a technically challenging case of PV isolation in a patient with left-sided pneumonectomy due to lung cancer.
متن کاملCutaneous and pulmonary Nocardiosis in a patient with Pemphigus
Pemphigus is a chronic blistering mucocutaneous disease, classified in immunobullous skin diseases. Infections, particularly septicemia due to Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeroginosa are the most common and dangerous disorders due to immunosuppressive therapy in this disease. Infection with nocardia is rare, so that only 6 cases have been reported yet. Herein, we report a 56-year-old m...
متن کاملSuccessful cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation in a patient with situs inversus and dextrocardia
A 79-year-old man with situs inversus and dextrocardia underwent catheter ablation of symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), using second-generation cryoballoon under Ensite NavX system guidance, was performed successfully in a reverse manner, which required short procedure and fluoroscopy times, as required in a PVI performed on a normal heart without any c...
متن کاملSpontaneous and induced pulmonary vein tachycardia after pulmonary vein isolation.
A case is reported of recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein ablation. A second procedure achieved isolation of three pulmonary veins and showed persistence of pulmonary vein tachycardia in one with implications concerning the electrophysiology of atrial fibrillation.
متن کاملPulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a patient with stand-alone unroofed coronary sinus
Introduction Atrial arrhythmia is common in patients with an atrial septal defect (ASD). Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the main cause of morbidity in older patients with ASD. An unroofed coronary sinus (CS) is rare (in,1% of all types of ASD) and is often associated with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and other forms of complex congenital heart disease and heterotaxy syndromes. Unroof...
