Magnetic‐guided catheter ablation of twin AV nodal reentrant tachycardia in a patient with left atrial isomerism, interrupted inferior vena cana, and Kawashima‐Fontan procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twin AV nodal reentrant tachycardia most commonly occurs in patients with complex congenital heart disease who have two distinct AV nodes, His bundles, and non-preexcited QRS morphologies. Catheter ablation of the weaker AV node may be hindered by anatomical complexities. In such cases, remote magnetic guidance offers a potentially effective solution.

Electrophysiology Study for Complex Supraventricular Tachycardia in Congenital Heart Disease Patients With Single‐Ventricle Physiology
BACKGROUND Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is common in complex congenital heart disease (CCHD) patients with single-ventricle physiology and may cause hemodynamic deterioration. We reported the outcomes of catheter ablation for such complex SVT in these single-ventricle CCHD patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with single-ventricle physiology (defined as CCHD patients) who received ele...
متن کاملLower or Upper Approach; Catheter Ablation of Supraventricular Arrhythmia in a Patient with Azygos Continuation of Inferior Vena Cava
The catheter ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias is generically performed via using a trans femoral venous approach through the inferior vena cava (IVC). However, this procedure becomes a subtle issue if there is a congenital or an acquired obstruction of the IVC. Here, we report a very particular case of slow pathway ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in a patient w...
متن کاملElectrophysiological 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...
متن کاملFenestration between the left atrial appendage and left superior vena cava in Kawashima operation.
The benefits of a baffle fenestration in essentially high-risk Fontan patients have been demonstrated. Described here is the use of a new fenestration between the left atrial appendage and the left superior vena cava after Kawashima operation in a patient with a double-outlet right ventricle with hypoplastic left ventricle, left atrial isomerism, bilateral superior vena cavae with no bridging v...
متن کاملLaser catheter coagulation of atrial myocardium for ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. First clinical experience.
A new technique for ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, using catheter-directed continuous wave Nd-YAG laser light, 1064 nm, via a novel pin-electrode laser catheter, was applied in 10 patients aged 15-63 years (mean 43 years). A total of 22 laser pulses, 1-5 per patient, at 20 or 30 W, of 10-45 s (mean 27 s) were aimed at the postero-inferior aspect of the tricuspid annul...
