Recovery of Cardiac Function After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Permanent Junctional Reciprocating Tachycardia in a Child: a Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT) patients are resistant to drug therapy and are at risk of cardiomyopathy. The electrocardiogram shows negative P waves in leads II, III, aVF and V3 –V6 and RP interval is longer than PR interval during tachycardia. This report describes a 15 years old female child with PJRT and tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy treated successfully with radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathway. Systolic functions 2 months after the procedure were in normal limits. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathway in PJRT patients is an effective treatment.

Coexistence of the permanent form of junctional reciprocating tachycardia and atrial tachycardia.
This case report describes a patient with the permanent form of junctional reciprocating tachycardia coexisting with atrial tachycardia. A detailed electrophysiological study established the diagnosis, and radiofrequency catheter ablation abolished both arrythmias.

126 Radiofrequency catheter ablation is safe and effective in children with refractory supraventricular tachycardia and poor response to pharmacological treatment. This procedure may be difficult or impossible to perform in patients with bilateral obstruction of the femoral venous access. In recent years, the transhepatic approach has been found to be safe in children. We report the case of a 1...

متن کاملCatheter ablation of an epicardial accessory pathway via the middle cardiac vein guided by monophasic action potential recordings.
This report describes a case of permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT) that was ablated via the middle cardiac vein, guided by monophasic action potential recording. The patient was a 63-year-old woman who had been suffering from palpitation for 10 years. ECG during palpitation showed a narrow QRS tachycardia with a long RP interval. Electrophysiological study revealed that this ...
