Ablation of atrial tachycardias with radiofrequency current after surgical repair of complex congenital heart defects.
INTRODUCTION Atrial tachycardias are a common problem following the surgical repair of complex congenital heart defects (CHD) and have a poor response to medication. The aim of this study was to describe the results of the treatment of such tachycardias with radiofrequency ablation in our hospital. METHODS A retrospective study was performed of the medical records and electronically stored da...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial flutter following orthotopic heart transplantation.
A 26 year old woman with a diagnosis of limb girdle muscular dystrophy and peripartum cardiomyopathy underwent orthotopic heart transplantation using standard atrial anastomoses. Recurrent atrial flutter was demonstrated in the absence of histological evidence of cellular rejection. Radiofrequency ablation of the flutter circuit was successfully performed allowing the avoidance of long term ant...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Tachyarrhythmias in Adults with Repaired Congenital Heart Disease: Constraints from Multiple and New Arrhythmic Foci.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrial tachyarrhythmias in postoperative congenital heart disease (CHD) patients has a low success rate and a high recurrence rate. This study explores the reasons for these constraints. METHODS A total of 49 consecutive postoperative CHD patients who received RFCA for atrial tachyarrhythmias between 1993 and 2010 were enrolled. RESULTS...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardias: experience at Peshawar.
BACKGROUND Drug therapy is mostly employed in the management of supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs). However, radiofrequency catheter ablation has been found to be highly effective and safe in the treatment of SVTs. The current study is aimed at sharing our experience of 320 patients who presented with SVTs, and were treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation. METHODS This descriptive stu...
متن کاملradiofrequency catheter ablation of type 1 atrial flutter
it has been well - established that common atrial flutter is due to intraatrial macroreentry and its reentry circuit locates in the right atrium. this reentry circuit has been characterized to involve an area of slow conduction identifiable electrophysiologically at the low posteroseptal right atrium and anatomical narrow isthmus snrrounded by the inferior vena capa, coronary sinus astium and t...
