Radiofrequency catheter ablation in a child with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation in the treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome

Introduction: Tachyarrhythmias in Wolf Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome, can be a life threatening factor. Antiarrhythmic drug therapy in this syndrome, has not been completely acceptable. Efficacy, safety and economy of Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation (RFCA) in western studies, has made it as the treatment of choice. In the present study, efficacy of RFCA in the ablation of accessory pathway...

Pulmonary Embolism as a Complication after radiofrequency catheter ablation Study: A Case Report

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a fatal condition that may rarely occur due to complications of coronary catheter insertion. In this case report, a 41-year-old male was presented 48 hours after radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) for the management of Wolf-Parkinson-White syndromewith acute onset of dyspnea, hemoptysis, and chest pain. The physical examination revealed coarse crackles in ...

Successful catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries after double switch operation

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) may cause sudden death late after repair of congenital heart disease. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (CA) of VT can be effective but may be hampered by hypertrophied myocardium or prosthetic material. A 33-year-old man with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) had undergone a double switch operation (DSO) with the combined Mustard and...

Atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and results of radiofrequency catheter ablation.

BACKGROUND We sought to investigate the feasibility of radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia and the ideal site for slow pathway (SP) ablation in congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries referred for catheter ablation of atrioventricula...

Catheter ablation of manifest posteroseptal accessory pathway associated with coronary sinus diverticula in a child with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries
