Rapidly formed right ventricular thrombus detected by intracardiac echocardiography before catheter ablation in a case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Figure 1 An image of the right ventricle created using intracardiac echocardiography merged with computed tomography. The fusion image reveals a large thrombus in the right ventricular apex. A right ventricular thrombus with ARVC is very rare compared with left ventricular thrombus in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Here, we reported a case of ARVC associated with a rapidly formed right ventricular thrombus.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia guided by intracardiac echocardiography.
AIMS Ventricular tachycardia (VT) frequently has an anatomical substrate. Identification of areas prone to arrhythmogenicity facilitates radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Furthermore, direct monitoring of complications potentially increases safety of RFCA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of guiding RFCA of VT with intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), in order to imp...
متن کاملRight ventricular thrombus formation in a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia following radiofrequency ablation
A middle-aged female suffering from ARVD presented for routine follow-up 8 weeks after right ventricular radiofrequency ablation of recurring ventricular tachycardia. Echocardiography revealed two right ventricular thrombi in the scar area of right ventricular radiofrequency ablation. Ablation-related thromboembolic events should be considered as possible complication in patients suffering from...

AIMS The role of a novel non-contact mapping system (ESI 3000, Endocardial Solutions) to guide radiofrequency catheter ablation of untolerated ventricular tachycardia was investigated in 17 patients; 11 with prior myocardial infarction, three with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, and three with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS Twenty-seven monomorphic ventricular tachycar...
متن کاملLong-Term Outcome With Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients With Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy improves short-term VT-free survival. We sought to determine the long-term outcomes of VT control and need for antiarrhythmic drug therapy after endocardial (ENDO) and adjuvant epicardial (EPI) substrate modification in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. ...
متن کاملAnaesthesia in Naxos disease: first case report.
Naxos disease is a recessively inherited arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in which the cardiac phenotype is associated with palmoplantar keratoderma and woolly hair. The hair phenotype is unique, characterized by congenital woolly, curly, rough, and light-colored scalp hair and sparse eyebrows. However, arrhythmias and severe cardiomyopathies are causes of severe life threatened ...
