Right ventricular thrombus formation in a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia following radiofrequency ablation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A middle-aged female suffering from ARVD presented for routine follow-up 8 weeks after right ventricular radiofrequency ablation of recurring ventricular tachycardia. Echocardiography revealed two right ventricular thrombi in the scar area of right ventricular radiofrequency ablation. Ablation-related thromboembolic events should be considered as possible complication in patients suffering from ARVD.

Role of Catheter Ablation in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia1
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by frequent ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricle and fibro-fatty replacement of right ventricular myocardium. Though the disorder was originally described during surgical ablation of refractory ventricular tachycardia, catheter ablation of tachycardia is one of the options for patients ...
متن کاملRapidly formed right ventricular thrombus detected by intracardiac echocardiography before catheter ablation in a case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
Figure 1 An image of the right ventricle created using intracardiac echocardiography merged with computed tomography. The fusion image reveals a large thrombus in the right ventricular apex. A right ventricular thrombus with ARVC is very rare compared with left ventricular thrombus in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Here, we reported a case of ARVC associated with a rapidly formed r...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Outflow Tract Arrhythmias: Benign Or Early Stage Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy/Dysplasia?
Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) arising from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) are a common and heterogeneous entity. Idiopathic right ventricular arrhythmias (IdioVAs) are generally benign, with excellent ablation outcomes and long-term arrhythmia-free survival, and must be distinguished from other conditions associated with VAs arising from the right ventricle: the differential diagnos...
متن کاملNon-contact mapping to guide catheter ablation of untolerated ventricular tachycardia.
AIMS The role of a novel non-contact mapping system (ESI 3000, Endocardial Solutions) to guide radiofrequency catheter ablation of untolerated ventricular tachycardia was investigated in 17 patients; 11 with prior myocardial infarction, three with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, and three with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS Twenty-seven monomorphic ventricular tachycar...
متن کامل“Rescue” ablation of electrical storm in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in pregnancy
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation (RFCA) became a treatment of choice in patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and appropriate interventions of implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), however, electrical storm (ES) ablation in a pregnant woman has not yet been reported. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of a successful rescue ablation of recurrent ...
