چکیده

Total upper body drainage via left superior vena cava into coronary sinus (i.e. absent right superior vena cava) is a rare anomaly and distorts the anatomy of coronary sinus and triangle of Koch. Herewith we are reporting the first report of ablation in a patient with superior vena cava draining into coronary sinus totally. This patient with atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia, baseline left bundle branch block, transient complete heart block during electrophysiological study and total upper body venous drainage into coronary sinus had successful slow pathway ablation using anatomical approach.

Partial Unroofed Coronary Sinus Associated With Upper Septal Ventricular Tachycardia and Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia

A 58 year old gentleman with complaints of palpitations and documented tachycardia was found to have a dilated right atrium, right ventricle and coronary sinus, which were due to partial unroofed coronary sinus without a left superior vena cava. He had upper septal ventricular tachycardia and atrio-ventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, which was successfully treated by radiofrequency ablation.

Electrophysiological characteristics of AV nodal reentrant tachycardia associated with persistent left superior vena cava

Background: The course of the AV nodal slow pathway in patients with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) has not been fully elucidated, and its optimal ablation site remains controversial. The present study investigated the electrophysiological characteristics of AV nodal reentrant tachycardias (AVNRTs) associated with PLSVC and the safety and efficacy of their radiofrequency catheter ab...

Successful left-sided accessory pathway ablation without reference catheter in patient with atresia of coronary sinus and thin persistent left superior vena cava

We report a case of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) with ostial atresia of the coronary sinus (CS). Without the anatomic angiography, radiofrequency (RF) energy was applied at the mitral valve annulus and the bypass tract was eliminated. After the therapy procedure, by CS angiography, we knew the persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), and the coronary sinus was connected with...

Temperature-controlled slow pathway ablation for treatment of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia using a combined anatomical and electrogram guided strategy.

AIMS Anatomical and electrogram-guided techniques have been used separately for slow pathway ablation in atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. The aims of the present study were to analyse electrogram characteristics of target sites and biophysical parameters using a combined anatomical and electrogram-guided technique for temperature-controlled radiofrequency catheter ablation of the s...

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation Of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry Tachycardia In A Patient With Inferior Vena Cava Anomaly

Curative radiofrequency catheter modification of the slow pathway is the recommended therapy for patients suffering from recurrent symptomatic atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia. This is usually performed via femoral vein and the inferior vena cava (IVC). Presence of venous occlusion or complex venous anomaly involving the IVC may preclude this approach. Here, we report a case with a co...
