Introduction A transseptal puncture through the interatrial septum at or near the fossa ovalis is frequently used to access the left side of the heart for electrophysiologic procedures. Fluoroscopy and intracardiac ultrasonography are imaging modalities commonly employed to facilitate the procedure. Complications associated with transseptal puncture include pericardial bleeding when the

ST-segment elevation and ventricular fibrillation shortly after transseptal puncture for left atrial catheter ablation
A 47-year-old man with drug-resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation underwent left atrial (LA) catheter ablation. After sheaths were inserted into the LA using the Brockenbrough method, he complained of angina and developed ST-segment elevation in the II, III, aVF, V5, and V6 leads. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) occurred followed by ventricular tachycardia. The VF was successfully treated with...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways in infants.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the indications, results and complications of radiofrequency catheter ablation in small infants with supraventricular tachycardia due to an accessory atrioventricular pathway. METHODS Five infants less than 9 months old underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways. Ablation was done for medically refractory tachyarrhythmia associated with aborted sudd...
متن کاملSuccessful ablation for non-pulmonary multi-foci atrial fibrillation/tachycardia in a patient with coronary sinus ostial atresia by transseptal puncture and epicardial approach
Introduction The coronary sinus (CS) and ligament of Marshall (LOM) have been reported to have arrhythmogenic properties and can initiate atrial fibrillation (AF) triggers as well as participate in left atrial reentrant circuits. In a recent study, epicardial and endocardial ablation of the CS in patients with AF after pulmonary vein isolation prolonged the AF cycle length and terminated AF and...
متن کامل[Optimized transseptal approach for left ventricular tachycardia ablation in a patient with a mechanical prosthetic aortic valve].
Prosthetic valves may make ventricular access difficult in radiofrequency catheter ablation. This case report describes an optimized atrial transseptal approach to access the ventricle in a patient with left ventricular tachycardia and a mechanical prosthetic aortic valve.
متن کاملCatheter ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation.
Supraventricular arrhythmias are relatively common, often persistent, and rarely life-threatening cardiac rhythm disturbances that arise from the sinus node, atrial tissue, or junctional sites between the atria and ventricles. The term "supraventricular arrhythmia" most often is used to refer to supraventricular tachycardias and atrial flutter. The term "supraventricular tachycardia" commonly r...
