چکیده

We describe a 77-year-old man with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome exhibiting double coronary sinus (CS) potentials during retrograde conduction over accessory pathway (AP). The first, low-frequency potential (DP1) was first recorded in the left posterolateral region, while the second, higher frequency signal (DP2) was recorded in a lateral-to-septal direction. The two signals were fused near the left lateral wall. Successful ablation of the AP was obtained at its ventricular insertion site in the postero-septal region. The unexpectedly delayed activation of the paraseptal RA following activation of the paraseptal left atrium (DP1) can be explained by the absence of a LA-CS musculature (CSM) electrical connection at the proximal CS, which forces a detour of the activation wavefront from LA to RA via the distal CS (DP2). This is a rare case exhibiting unique double CS potentials which unmasked the absence of a LA-CSM electrical connection at CS ostium.

Electrical conduction between the right atrium and the left atrium via the musculature of the coronary sinus.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether the coronary sinus (CS) musculature has electrical connections to the right atrium (RA) and left atrium (LA) and forms an RA-LA connection. METHODS AND RESULTS Six excised dog hearts were perfused in a Langendorff preparation. A 20-electrode catheter (2-4-2-mm spacing center to center) was placed along the CS. Excision of the pulmo...

The anatomic basis of connections between the coronary sinus musculature and the left atrium in humans.

BACKGROUND This study determined the histological features of the atrial myocardium connecting the coronary sinus and the left atrium in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten necropsied hearts were studied by performing serial longitudinal sections parallel to the long axis of the coronary sinus that extended its full length using a large microtome. In all specimens, the venous wall of the coronary...

Pseudo Cor Triatriatum Sinistrum due to Dilated Coronary Sinus in Association with Supramitral Ring

We herein describe a 34-year-old woman with a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) impinging on the posterior wall of the left atrium, subdivided by a membrane at the distal part of the impingement. In this patient, a much dilated coronary sinus due to the PLSVC resulted in a membrane-like structure in the posterior wall of the left atrium with the appearance of the cor triatriatum in tra...

Incidental Visualization of the Septal Vein of the Left Atrium

A 58-year-old man with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia was admitted to our hospital for catheter ablation. Cannulation of the patient’s coronary sinus using a long sheath multipolar catheter was difficult and the catheter was positioned in the interatrial septum. The tip of the catheter was directed to the left atrium (Fig. 1A). Angiography using the long sheath catheter showed a vein (...
