Successful radiofrequency ablation of a right posteroseptal accessory pathway through an anomalous inferior vena cava and azygos continuation in a patient with incomplete situs inversus.

چکیده
We present a 43-year-old patient with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. In the process of catheter ablation, we found interruption of the inferior vena cava with azygos continuation with incomplete situs inversus. In this patient, we adopted the lower approach via the anomalous inferior vena cava and azygos continuation to achieve stability of radiofrequency catheter for right posteroseptal accessory pathway, and successfully abolished the preexcitation.

Heterotaxy syndrome and interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) with azygos continuation
Heterotaxy syndrome or situs ambiguous is a rare congenital disease in which the pattern of anatomical organization of the thoraco-abdominal visceral and vascular structures is not arranged in normal position. Patients with heterotaxy syndrome represent a wide range of anatomical variations including thoraco-abdominal structures. Here we report a rare case of asymptomatic heterotaxy syndrome in...
متن کاملSuccessful atrioventricular junction ablation in a patient with situs inversus with dextrocardia and complex venous anatomy
Situs inversus with dextrocardia is an uncommon condition and is present in approximately 0.02% of the general population. Infrahepatic interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a congenital anomaly found in 1.3%–3.0% of patients with congenital heart disease, and it occurs in 8– 18% of patients with dextrocardia. In this condition, the IVC is interrupted above the renal branches, and sys...
متن کاملTwo dimensional echocardiographic diagnosis of situs.
At present there is no reliable method of recognising atrial isomerism by two dimensional echocardiography. We therefore used two dimensional echocardiography to examine 158 patients including 25 with atrial isomerism and four with situs inversus. Particular attention was paid to the short and long axis subcostal scans of the abdomen. Using the position of the inferior vena cava and the aorta w...
متن کاملA case of anomalous inferior vena cava with azygos continuation associated with situs inversus totalis and acquired mitral valvular disease.
NOMALOUS inferior vena cava with azygos or hemiazygos continuation has been considered to be a very rare anomaly in the past. However, since the development of cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography, this congenital abnormality has been reported with increasing frequency. This anomaly is usually associated with other cardiovascular defect, and there are few reported cases without other m...
متن کاملManagement of scar-related atrial flutter in a patient with dextrocardia, inferior vena cava interruption, and azygos continuation
Dextrocardia is detected in approximately 1 in 12,000 live births, and one-third of these have complete situs inversus (1). Dextrocardia has been reported to be associated with inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis or interruption in 8%–18% of cases, and the anomalies of IVC can coexist with azygos continuation in approximately 0.6% of cases (2). We report a case of catheter ablation of scar-relate...
