چکیده

Atrial fibrillation (AF) from the ligament/vein of Marshall (LOM/VOM) has previously been described. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman with an antiarrhythmic drug-resistant AF induced by two distinct atrial tachycardias (ATs). Focal ablation of these ATs from the double-exit of the Marshall bundle using a three-dimensional map eliminated AF triggering, even though pulmonary vein electrical isolation is the cornerstone for paroxysmal AF. Such mechanisms are important as triggering factors to plan ablation for paroxysmal AF. Focal ablation for triggering and inducing AF, originating from the double-exit of the Marshall bundle may be effective in eliminating AF in young patients.

Vein of marshall cannulation for the analysis of electrical activity in patients with focal atrial fibrillation.

BACKGROUND Whether or not the muscle bundle within the ligament of Marshall (LOM) can serve as the origin of focal atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 28 consecutive patients with paroxysmal AF underwent balloon-occlusion coronary sinus angiograms to identify the vein of Marshall (VOM). Attempts were then made to advance a 1.5-French electrophysiological cathet...

Isolation of the conduction between the Marshall bundle and distal coronary sinus and the entire coronary sinus for an atrial tachycardia after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

Introduction Even though mitral isthmus block is completely achieved after pulmonary vein (PV) isolation for atrial fibrillation (AF) by adding a linear ablation, in some cases atrial tachycardias (ATs) can occur that break through between the left atrial appendage and left PVs. This type of perimitral flutter has been reported as a ridge-related reentry (RRR). Jiang and colleagues speculated t...

Images and Case Reports in Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology Restoration of Sinus Rhythm by Incarceration, not Elimination, of Focal Atrial Tachycardia in Left Atrial Substrate Post Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

While diseased regions of the atrial body commonly behave as a substrate maintaining atrial fibrillation (AF), these areas can uncommonly behave as trigger foci for atrial tachycardia (AT),1 particularly after previous ablation. Unlike venous triggers, the goal of ablation for these focal ATs is normally elimination of the tachycardia source, rather than complete isolation. We present a case of...

Arrhythmias in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension; A Narrative Review of the Current Literature

Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension. Common findings in these patients were elevated right atrial pressure and diameters and reduced tricuspid annula...
