Innappropriate Sinus Tachycardia After Superior Vena Cava Isolation In Addition To Pulmonary Veins Isolatin Of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Cryoballoon Ablation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of persistent inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) after pulmonary vein and superior vena cava (SVC) isolation with cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). After the cryoballoon ablation (CBA) procedure, the patient presented with sinus tachycardia of 105 beats/minute. The patient was successfully treated with metoprolol and ivabradine therapy.

AF Sustained in Only a Small Area of SVC
A 66-year-old female was admitted to our hospital to undergo catheter ablation for symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). After pulmonary vein isolation was achieved by cryoballoon and adenosine triphosphate was injected to confirm the dormant conduction of the pulmonary veins, AF was induced. Sinus rhythm was restored by cardioversion, whereas AF was sustained only in the superior ve...

We report the case of a 66 year-old male who underwent catheter ablation for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) at our institution. Radiofrequency catheter ablation was performed using a three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping system. During ablation of the pulmonary veins (PV), right atrial ectopics were noted to repeatedly trigger AF and atrial tachycardia (AT). After PV ...

Case presentation A 56-year-old woman was referred for recurrence of symptomatic paroxysmal AF and AT after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Preprocedure imaging demonstrated the presence of a PLSVC. Reconnection of right superior and right inferior pulmonary veins (PV) was observed, and both veins were successfully reisolated. Postisolation, AF initiated spontaneously multiple times. During map...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting about 2.6 million people in the United States. Cryoballoon ablation of the pulmonary veins (PVs) has become a well-established therapeutic option for patients experiencing paroxysmal AF. Right phrenic nerve (PN) pacing is recommended when applying cryoballoon applications to the right PVs owing to their close proximity to this n...

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) usually originates from pulmonary veins (PVs) but can also be caused by pulmonary veins outside, such as the coronary sinus (CS), the superior vena cava (SVC), and the ligament of Marshall. CASE PRESENTATION A 69-year-old male with a history of palpitations for 10 years was referred to our institute because of its recurrence for half a day. A dynamic electr...
