چکیده

Introduction Unroofed coronary sinus is a rare congenital anomaly that may alter the complex anatomy of the atrioventricular (AV) node. Arrhythmia circuits occurring among these patients may not be located in the usual position, especially those circuits involving the AV node. We report a case of the coexistence of this uncommon coronary sinus (CS) anomaly and the atypical form of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) that could not be ablated by the conventional right-sided slow pathway modification but required left-sided septal ablation through an unroofed CS.

Atypical atrioventricular node reciprocating tachycardia masquerading as tachycardia using a left-sided accessory pathway.

OBJECTIVES The study was performed to document that atrioventricular node reciprocating tachycardia (AVNRT) can be associated with eccentric retrograde left-sided activation, masquerading as tachycardia using a left accessory pathway. BACKGROUND The eccentric retrograde left-sided activation during tachycardia is thought to be diagnostic of the presence of a left free wall accessory pathway. ...

Atypical atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia with eccentric retrograde left-sided activation of coronary sinus.

BACKGROUND Recent anatomical and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that in the human atrioventricular node there are two main extensions, the rightward and leftward posterior nodal extension (LPNE). The occurrence of eccentric retrograde atrial activation has been demonstrated in several previous reports to be from 6 to 8% in patients with AVNRT. OBJECTIVES The study was performe...

Junctional rhythm associated with ventriculoatrial block during slow pathway ablation in atypical atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia.

AIMS We assessed responses to slow pathway ablation with respect to the appearance of ventriculoatrial (VA) block during junctional rhythm in both typical and atypical types of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). METHODS AND RESULTS The 31 subjects included 16 patients with slow-fast type of typical AVNRT and 15 patients with atypical AVNRT (9 patients with fast-slow type a...

Coexistent Types of Atrioventricular Nodal Re-Entrant Tachycardia: Implications for the Tachycardia Circuit.

BACKGROUND There is evidence that atypical fast-slow and typical atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) do not use the same limb for fast conduction, but no data exist on patients who have presented with both typical and atypical forms of this tachycardia. We compared conduction intervals during typical and atypical AVNRT that occurred in the same patient. METHODS AND RESULTS I...

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.

INTRODUCTION Published reports of radiofrequency ablation of atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) have been limited. We present our experience in 10 consecutive patients with atypical AVNRT who underwent radiofrequency ablation of the "slow" AV nodal pathway. METHODS AND RESULTS There were 9 females and 1 male; their mean age was 44 +/- 19 years (+/- SD). The mean AVN...
