Acquired right atrial appendage to right ventricle accessory pathway in a lateral tunnel Fontan patient: Successful ablation via transconduit approach
Introduction The management of supraventricular arrhythmias after the Fontan procedure with catheter ablation represents a significant challenge. This can be due to the access problems that are created by the currently used modification of the procedure, which uses an extracardiac conduit, as well as to the complex anatomic substrate that can be created by a combination of congenital and acquir...
متن کاملSuccessful ablation of two right atrial tachycardias on either side of the lateral tunnel patch in a patient with double inlet left ventricle and total cavopulmonary connection: Two sites and two mechanisms
INTRODUCTION Surgical strategy for patients born with a physiological univentricular heart has evolved from atrio-pulmonary (AP) Fontan (right atrium (RA) to pulmonary artery) to its modification, total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC), with the goal of reduced post-operative incidence of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). However, TCPC patients may also present with symptomatic atrial tachycar...
متن کاملIs the extracardiac conduit the preferred Fontan approach for patients with univentricular hearts? The extracardiac conduit is the preferred Fontan approach for patients with univentricular hearts.
Fontan palliation for single-ventricle patients was first described in 1971.1 The original approach was in the form of a classic atriopulmonary Fontan connection, bypassing the nonfunctional right ventricle. After recognizing the long-term complication of an atriopulmonary connection (right atrial dilation, arrhythmias, and thrombus formation), modifications have been made. The atriopulmonary c...
متن کاملTransbaffle radiofrequency ablation of reentrant atrial tachycardia in a child with hypoplastic left heart syndrome after Fontan correction.
Patients with functionally single ventricle undergo several operations in order to regulate pulmonary blood flow; however, it limits the access to the chambers of the heart. Incisional tachycardia after surgery is frequently life threatening. Because it rarely responds to medical treatment, radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an optimal option with a relatively high success rate. A 7-year-old boy w...
متن کاملArrhythmias 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...
