Combined atriofascicular and fasciculoventricular connections.

چکیده
A 32-year-old man with a 20-year history of palpitation showed a short PQ interval and delta wave on 12-lead ECG. An electrophysiological study showed that the atrio-His (AH) and His-ventricular intervals were not influenced by rapid right atrial pacing or by bolus injection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The AH interval was shortened by coronary sinus ostium (CSos) pacing. Ventricular stimulus to the atrial activation interval was not affected by ATP but shortened by para-Hisian pacing and orthodromic His bundle activation was followed by atrial activation. The tricuspid - inferior vena cava isthmus was blocked by CSos pacing, but Ith conduction existed during low lateral right atrial pacing.

Ablation of a symptomatic spontaneous automatic focus arising from an atriofascicular fiber
Atriofascicular accessory pathways (AP), often referred to as Mahaim pathways, are uncommon electrical connections that most often course along the lateral right atrium and insert within the distal right bundle branch (RBB). Pathognomomic electrophysiological characteristics are well described, including unidirectional anterograde conduction with AV node–like decremental properties. Reported ta...
متن کاملSimultaneous mapping of the tricuspid and mitral valve annuli at electrophysiological study.
BACKGROUND Mapping of the right free wall in patients with accessory pathways is difficult compared with that of the left free wall where the coronary sinus permits stable and accurate location of the electrodes used for endocardial mapping. Furthermore, the sequential roving catheter method is less satisfactory than multiple simultaneous electrode recordings spanning the circumference of the v...
متن کاملAtriofascicular pathway detection with novel ablation catheter
Atriofascicular pathways are a rare cause of antidromic atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia. The IntellaTip MiFi ablation catheter (Boston Scientific, MA, USA) is a novel ablation catheter that allows enhanced signal clarity with highly localized electrograms. This is the first report of this catheter being successfully used to map and ablate the atriofascicular pathway potentials.
متن کاملElectrophysiologic demonstration of an atriofascicular accessory pathway.
Evidence of an atriofascicular accessory pathway has not been reported previously. In the patient presented in this case report, an electrophysiology study demonstrated a constant left bundle branch block QRS configuration despite varying degrees of ventricular preexcitation, in association with a constant artrioventricular interval during incremental atrial pacing and programmed atrial stimula...
متن کاملAccurate evaluation of para-Hisian pacing in a patient with fasciculoventricular bypass.
A 20-year-old man with palpitations was examined for ventricular pre-excitation. Atrial extra-stimulation produced AH prolongation without changes in the pre-excitation degree, suggesting fasciculoventricular bypass. Para-Hisian pacing with different stimuli strengths induced various beats, including His-bundle pacing. QRS morphologies of these different responses were similar because the dista...
