چکیده
Automatic junctional tachycardias are rare supraventricular tachyarrhythmias observed mainly in infants and children. This arrhythmia has a high mortality rate. We report the case of a 22-month-old infant in which the electrophysiological study disclosed an incessant junctional tachycardia originating from an automatic focus located in the His bundle region. Radiofrequency pulse delivery to the His bundle with controlled progressive heating of this region resulted in a definitive ablation of the ectopic focus without complications.

Efficacy of an Anatomical Approach in Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Idiopathic Ventricular Arrhythmias Originating From the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract.
BACKGROUND When anatomic obstacles preclude radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) originating from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), an alternative approach from the anatomically opposite side (endocardial versus epicardial or above versus below the aortic valve) may be considered (anatomic ablation). The purpose of this study was to investigate t...
متن کاملPrevalence and clinical, electrocardiographic, and electrophysiologic characteristics of ventricular arrhythmias originating from the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva.
BACKGROUND Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) can be rarely ablated from the noncoronary cusp (NCC) of the aorta. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and the clinical, electrocardiographic, and electrophysiologic characteristics of idiopathic NCC VAs. METHODS We studied 90 consecutive patients who underwent successful catheter ablation of idiopathic a...
متن کاملAtrial Tachycardia Originating from the Aortomitral Junction
Atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the aortomitral junction is a very rare and challenging disease. Its arrhythmic characteristics have not been described in detail compared with the descriptions of the arrhythmic characteristics of AT originating from the other locations. Only a few case reports have documented successful ablation of this type of AT using transaortic or transseptal appro...
متن کاملSuccessful Catheter Ablation of Atrial Tachycardia Originating from the Non-coronary Aortic Sinus
We report a rare case of atrial tachycardia originating from the non-coronary aortic sinus. After failed radiofrequency (RF) energy applications at right His-bundle region, the complete elimination of atrial tachycardia was achieved with an RF energy application in the non-coronary aortic sinus. With the review of other papers, this report emphasizes the importance of mapping in the non-coronar...
متن کاملPremature ventricular contractions with two QRS morphologies originate from one focus in great cardiac vein
It has been demonstrated that catheter ablation may be a reliable technique for curing ventricular arrhythmias originating from the great cardiac vein (GCV), and there are some challenges and risks with this therapeutic method. Although some reports described successful catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardias originating from the GCV, premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) with left bu...
