Sustained monomorphic left ventricular outflow tract tachycardia early after aortic valve replacement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) after valve surgery is uncommon. Cases of focal VT or bundle-branch re-entry after aortic valve surgery have been reported. We present the case of a 60 year-old patient with an incessant outflow tract VT early after aortic valve replacement. We suggest the disease process affecting the valve and adjacent area, and/or the surgical procedure, might somehow relate to VT substrate adjacent to the aortic annulus.

Ventricular tachycardia following trans-apical aortic valve replacement.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a relatively new procedure for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. We report a case of a new left ventricular outflow tract ventricular tachycardia following TAVR.
متن کاملImpact of pulmonary valve replacement on arrhythmia propensity late after repair of tetralogy of Fallot.
BACKGROUND Chronic pulmonary regurgitation after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) may lead to right ventricular dilatation, which may be accompanied by ventricular tachycardia and sudden death. We aimed to examine the effects of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) on (1) certain electrocardiographic markers predictive of monomorphic ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death and (2) sustained atr...
متن کاملSystolic closure of aortic valve in patients with prosthetic mitral valves.
Systolic closure of the aortic valve was found in 10 of 36 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement. Eight patients had early systolic closure, and two had mid-systolic closure. The left ventricular outflow tract dimension on M-mode and two dimensional echocardiograms, left ventricular posterior wall and septal thickness, left ventricular dimensions in systole and diastole, aortic valve ...
متن کاملGender differences in idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias.
ustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) is most often related to myocardial structural heart disease, including a healed myocardial infarction, and cardiomyopathies. However, no apparent structural abnormalities are identified in approximately 10% of all cases of sustained monomorphic VT in the United States1 and in 20% of those in Japan.2 These cases of VT are referred to as “idiopat...
متن کاملEarly results of the Ross procedure in simple and complex left heart disease.
BACKGROUND The Ross procedure has been used increasingly to treat aortic valve disease in children and young adults. Benefits include the lack of anticoagulation after surgery and the potential growth and durability of the autograft. The purpose of this study was to review our institutional experience with the Ross procedure and to compare early outcome in simple aortic valve disease and comple...
