Coexistence of left-sided atrioventricular accessory pathways with a common inferior pulmonary vein ostium.
BACKGROUND As the technique for radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) has progressed, so has our knowledge of both normal and abnormal anatomy of the left atrium and pulmonary veins (PV). We treated several AF patients with accessory conduction pathways (ACP) who were also found to have a common ostium of inferior PVs (CIPV), a relatively rare PV anomaly. No relation bet...
متن کاملBlock of the mitral-pulmonary isthmus during ablation of a single left-sided accessory pathway causing different patterns of retrograde atrial activation.
The case of a 16-year-old patient with atrioventricular tachycardia caused by a single left anterolateral accessory pathway is reported. When the patient underwent radiofrequency ablation, a lesion on the mitral annulus lateral wall produced changes in the retrograde atrial activation pattern determined by that pathway; changes ranged from a delay in depolarization of the annulus posterior port...
متن کاملArrhythmogenicity of the Coronary Sinus
The coronary sinus (CS) is the cardiac venous system that begins at its ostium in the right atrium and ends at the origin of the great cardiac vein.1,2,3 The major tributaries of the CS include the great cardiac vein (anterior cardiac vein), the left obtuse marginal vein, the posterior (or inferior) left ventricular vein, the middle cardiac vein, and the right coronary vein. In addition, atrial...
متن کاملA simple method to ablate left-sided accessory pathways in a patient with coronary sinus ostial atresia and persistent left superior vena cava: A case report
Introduction Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is characterized by a short PR interval, wide QRS complex, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. An accessory atrioventricular connection is known to be the underlying mechanism of this syndrome. Accessory pathways (APs) are mainly located along the tricuspid or mitral annulus, accounting for 10%– 20% and 50%–60% of cases, respectively. M...
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...
