Successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in a patient with dextrocardia due to unilateral pulmonary agenesis: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the slow pathway is considered to be the treatment of choice for patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. We report a 34-year-old female with mirror image dextrocardia due to unilateral pulmonary agenesis who underwent successful slow pathway ablation for typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. Using contrast injection, cardiac anatomy was identified in a short time and successfully ablated.

Temperature-controlled slow pathway ablation for treatment of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia using a combined anatomical and electrogram guided strategy.
AIMS Anatomical and electrogram-guided techniques have been used separately for slow pathway ablation in atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. The aims of the present study were to analyse electrogram characteristics of target sites and biophysical parameters using a combined anatomical and electrogram-guided technique for temperature-controlled radiofrequency catheter ablation of the s...
متن کاملAtrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia in a Patient with Superior- Inferior Ventricles and Dextrocardia Treated with Cryoablation
A 19-year-old female underwent repair of complex congenital heart disease (atrial and ventricular septal defect with a supero-inferior ventricular relationship) in infancy. Because of recurrent palpitations she underwent an electrophysiology study. Atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia was diagnosed. Catheter ablation was performed successfully using cryothermal energy. The diag...

Introduction Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is the most frequent paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), with an incidence of 5 cases per 1000 people. Ablation utilizing a radiofrequency current (RFC) energy source is currently the standard treatment. Success rates range between 94% and 100% and complication rates are low, especially with respect to total atrioventr...

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a fatal condition that may rarely occur due to complications of coronary catheter insertion. In this case report, a 41-year-old male was presented 48 hours after radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) for the management of Wolf-Parkinson-White syndromewith acute onset of dyspnea, hemoptysis, and chest pain. The physical examination revealed coarse crackles in ...

Transvenous radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) for treatment of atrioventricular (AV) reentrant tachycardia and AV nodal reentrant tachycardia is remarkably successful. To the best of my knowledge, there has not been a large randomized trial comparing RFA with other treatments for these tachycardias. The lack of such trials is due at least in part to the self-evident efficacy of RFA in this...
