Transcatheter patent foramen ovale closure and radiofrequency ablation of right atrial tachycardia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) can be found in approximately 25% of adult population. Transcatheter closure of PFO is a potential option in selected patients with PFO. We report a case of a female patient that underwent mapping and catheter ablation of atrial tachycardia and PFO closure in the same procedure.

Transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale during a radiofrequency ablation procedure.
A 43-year-old woman was undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation of a symptomatic supraventricular tachycardia when a patent foramen ovale (PFO) was detected with passage of the diagnostic electrocatheter into the left atrium. Prior echocardiographic studies had been unrevealing. Upon questioning during the procedure, the patient now admitted to frequent and disabling daily migraine attacks,...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of patent foramen ovale after presumed paradoxical embolism.
BACKGROUND Many have proposed a relation between presence of a patent foramen ovale, with or without atrial septal aneurysm, and cryptogenic stroke. The effect of foramen ovale closure on the risk for subsequent strokes is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale was undertaken in 36 patients with known right-to-left atrial shunting and presumed paradoxical...
متن کاملTranscatheter patent foramen ovale closure: review and choice of devices
The foramen ovale is an essential part of the fetal circulation, allowing right-to-left shunt of oxygenated blood derived from the umbilical vein to bypass the nonfunctional lungs in utero. It is formed by the septum primum and septum secundum. After birth, owing to an increase in the left atrial pressure and a decrease in the right atrial pressure, the septum primum is pushed against the thick...
متن کاملPercutaneous treatment of ventricular tachycardia, perimembranous ventricular septal defect and patent foramen ovale: a case report.
UN CO RR EC Perimembranous ventricular septal defect in adulthood can be complicated by episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia [1,2]. The treatment algorithm of both the arrhythmia and congenital cardiac defect can raise some issues, namely medical versus interventional therapies. We report the case of a 40 years old man, admitted for slow ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch ...
متن کاملUse of the transseptal puncture in transcatheter closure of long tunnel-type patent foramen ovale.
Two patients with long tunnel-type patent foramen ovale presented for elective transcatheter closure following transient ischaemic attack and stroke. Right to left shunting was confirmed on transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography. A new technique that used a transseptal procedure was devised to enable closure of the tunnel-type patent foramen ovale using the CardioSEAL transseptal o...
