Low energy catheter ablation of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 38 year old woman with a structurally normal heart presented with near syncope and had right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia. She was intolerant of antiarrhythmic medication and underwent low energy catheter ablation. Six non-arcing shocks of 25 J were delivered to the right ventricular outflow tract. No further ventricular tachycardia occurred during a follow up of seven months without antiarrhythmic treatment.

Relation between efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation and site of origin of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia.
The results of radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients without structural heart disease are reported. Particular attention was focused on the relation between efficacy and the site of origin of the VT. Eighteen consecutive patients (5 women and 13 men; mean age 41 +/- 13 years) with idiopathic VT underwent catheter ablation using radiofrequency energy. Sites...
متن کاملGender Difference in Idiopathic Right Ventricular Outflow Tract-Ventricular Tachycardia.
BACKGROUND Few studies have discussed gender differences in idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract-ventricular tachycardia (RVOT-VT). This study explored possible gender differences in electrophysiological characteristics and catheter ablation for idiopathic RVOT-VT in Taiwan. METHODS Ninety-three patients (mean age 38.7 ± 15.5years, 30 males) were diagnosed as having idiopathic RVOT-VT b...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia using contact force guidance
Outflow tract tachycardias (OTT) originating from the right or left ventricular outflow tract are thought to be benign. However, symptoms can be disabling and deterioration of left ventricular function may occur with a high arrhythmia burden. Catheter ablation has a high acute success rate of up to 90 %, but recurrences are not uncommon [1, 2]. Novel catheter designs, and mapping and ablation t...
متن کاملRole of Catheter Ablation in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia1
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by frequent ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricle and fibro-fatty replacement of right ventricular myocardium. Though the disorder was originally described during surgical ablation of refractory ventricular tachycardia, catheter ablation of tachycardia is one of the options for patients ...
متن کاملNormal Heart Ventricular Tachycardia Associated with Pregnancy: Successful Treatment with Catheter Ablation
BACKGROUND Normal heart ventricular arrhythmia occurring during pregnancy has been previously described. Whilst there are established reports of catheter ablation to treat supraventricular arrhythmia during pregnancy, there are no reports of ablation to treat ventricular tachycardia. CASE We present the case of a 36 year old women, 31 weeks into an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy, experienc...
