A dual-loop bi-atrial macro-reentry flutter during atrial fibrillation ablation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dual-loop macro-reentry atrial flutter (AFL) is an atypical AFL, which has two loops of the reentry circuit usually localized within single atrium. In this case report, we present a double-loop bi-atrial flutter during atrial fibrillation ablation, in which the two reentry circuit loops were located around the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the mitral annulus, (MA) respectively.

Supraventricular tachycardia after orthotopic cardiac transplantation.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to define the incidence, mechanisms, and management, including catheter ablation, of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in a large series of patients after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT). BACKGROUND Supraventricular arrhythmias are frequently encountered after OHT, but their characteristics in this population have not been well established. M...
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 ...

Objectives: Dual pathways have a determinant role in the occurrence of atrio nodal tachyarrhythmia (AVNRT). The aim of present study is to determine the role of slow pathway (SP) in the concealment zone and protective role of AV node during atrial fibrillation (AF).

متن کاملArrhythmias in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension; A Narrative Review of the Current Literature
Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension. Common findings in these patients were elevated right atrial pressure and diameters and reduced tricuspid annula...
متن کاملTypical Atrial Flutter - When Do You Say You Have Got It.
Right Atrial Flutter (AFL) is a common form of macro reentrant arrhythmia.1-3 In absence of previous cardiac surgery, the reentry circuit is usually bounded anteriorly by the tricuspid annulus (TA) and posteriorly by the ostia of vena cava and Eustachian ridge. In this case, AFL is consensually called “typical” AFL and is highly dependent of the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI).2 The CTI is a critic...
