Thrombus Development on a Transseptal Sheath in the Right Atrium Before Electrical Pulmonary Vein Isolation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the case of a patient who developed a thrombus on the transseptal sheath in the right atrium before transseptal puncture for circumferential pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation treatment. The use of intracardiac echocardiography allowed to its identification and probably prevented the patient from suffering a serious thromboembolic complication.

A 56-year-old male patient was admitted for catheter ablation of highly symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. During the procedure, a rare anatomic variation with an interrupted inferior caval vein (ICV) branching suprarenal into an azygos venous continuation draining into the superior caval vein was detected. Using angiography, a continuation of the ICV leading into the liver, subdividin...
