Left atrial-pulmonary vein reentrant tachycardia following pulmonary vein isolation.
Pulmonary vein isolation has become the cornerstone of ablation for atrial fibrillation. However, it is sometimes followed by the development of left atrial macro-reentrant tachycardia. There is evidence to suggest that the myocardial sleeves within the pulmonary veins may be implicated in the mechanism of the tachycardia. Here we present a case of a post-ablation macro-reentrant tachycardia, i...
متن کاملDissociated pulmonary vein potentials: Expression of the cardiac autonomic nervous system following pulmonary vein isolation?
Introduction In the electrically nonisolated pulmonary veins, the cardiac autonomic system has been shown to play an important role in initiating pulmonary vein (PV) ectopy and triggering atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the effects of the cardiac autonomic system on the isolated PV are not currently known. We present the observations from a case where opportunistic stimulation of the autonom...
متن کاملPulmonary venous thrombosis and infarction complicating pulmonary venous stenosis following radiofrequency ablation.
Pulmonary vein stenosis is a recently described complication of radiofrequency ablation. We report a patient who experienced thrombosis of the lingular vein and pulmonary infarction resulting from mild single-vessel pulmonary vein stenosis. This report extends available experience with complications of radiofrequency ablation, by demonstrating pulmonary venous thrombosis as a complication of re...
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 کاملAcute respiratory distress syndrome following straightforward pulmonary vein isolation.
A tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel from human dorsal root ganglia, hPN3/SCN10A. Tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channels Na(v)1.8 and Na(v)1.9 are expressed in the retina. Roles of tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive Na+ current, TTX-resistant Na+ current, and Ca2+ current in the action potentials of nociceptive sensory neurons. Electrical remodeling of the human atrium:...
