Radiofrequency Ablation of Typical Atrial Flutter via Right Jugular Vein due to Bilateral Obstructed Iliac Veins in a Patient with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) is the gold standard method in the treatment of isthmus dependent atrial flutter (AFl). Venous access was obtained usually via right or left femoral veins. In rare cases of obstruction of iliofemoral veins, ablation of CTI can be performed only through the superior approach. We present a 74-year-old woman of typical AFl and dilated cardiomyopathy that was ablated through the right jugular vein because of obstruction of the left and the right iliac veins. This is the first report of successful ablation of CTI in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy via superior approach.

Radiofrequency ablation of common atrial flutter via right subclavian/jugular vein access in a patient with bilateral lower limb venous obstruction: Importance of contact force monitoring during mapping and ablation
Introduction Catheter ablation is usually performed via femoral vein and inferior vena cava to the right heart. For some reason, it may be difficult or unsuccessful when the inferior venous access is obstructed or lacking. We present a case of typical atrial flutter (AFL) in a patient with a history of endocardial cushion defect repair. The AFL was successfully ablated through the right subclav...

Radiofrequency ablation of Cavotricuspid Isthmus-dependent Atrial Flutter (CTI AFL), a usual and safe therapeutic procedure in interventional electrophysiology with a high success rate, aiming to induce permanent block of conduction over CTI, is normally performed via the femoral access, which allows practical access to the CTI through the inferior vena cava (IVC). In rare cases of obstruction ...

Introduction The standard approach to contemporary atrial fibrillation ablation involves obtaining trans-septal access to the left atrium from an inferior approach using percutaneous femoral venous access. Rarely, access to the heart from the inferior approach is not possible due to vascular anomalies or venous occlusions. In these unusual cases, a superior approach to pulmonary vein isolation ...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation of post-incisional atrial flutter and high-output heart failure in a patient with interrupted inferior vena cava and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
A 61-year-old female with a history of secundum atrial septal defect repair and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia presented with epistaxis. She was found to have atypical atrial flutter with 2:1 atrioventricular conduction. Radiofrequency ablation was planned, but inferior vena cava interruption precluded right atrial (RA) access. The RA was then accessed through both subclavian veins, and ...
متن کاملElectrophysiological Mechanisms of Atrial Flutter
Atrial flutter (AFL) is a common arrhythmia in clinical practice. Several experimental models such as tricuspid regurgitation model, tricuspid ring model, sterile pericarditis model and atrial crush injury model have provided important information about reentrant circuit and can test the effect of antiarrhythmic drugs. Human atrial flutter has typical and atypical forms. Typical atrial flutter ...
