A case of an atrial tachycardia originating from an occluded coronary sinus ostium with a persistent left superior vena cava

چکیده
We present a case of a 37-year-old female who complained of frequent palpitations caused by an atrial tachycardia and atrial premature contractions. Angiography revealed that the coronary sinus was occluded at the ostium and connected to a persistent left superior vena cava. An electrophysiological study and three-dimensional mapping revealed that the origin of the atrial tachycardia and atrial premature contractions was at the coronary sinus ostium in the right atrium. After repeat applications of radiofrequency energy at that site, no further atrial tachycardia or atrial premature contractions were induced by atrial burst pacing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an atrial tachycardia originating from an occluded coronary sinus ostium.

Atrial Arrhythmia Ablation in Adult Congenital Heart Disease with a Persistent Left-side Superior Vena Cava
We herein report a case of atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the dilated coronary sinus (CS) connected to a persistent left superior vena cava. The earliest activation site of AT was localized at the superior CS ostium, identified using a novel ultra-rapid high-density mapping system (Rhythmia™). Successful ablation was performed at the corresponding position. This report demonstrated th...
متن کاملIsolated persistent left-sided superior vena cava, giant coronary sinus, atrial tachycardia and heart failure in a child.
Persistence of a left-sided superior vena cava (PLSVC) with absent right superior vena cava (isolated PLSVC) is a very rare venous malformation and commonly associated with congenital heart disease or alterations of the cardiac situs. We describe an unusual case of a young boy presenting with persistent atrial tachycardia and congestive heart failure. He was detected to have unexplained grossly...
متن کاملCoronary sinus atrial septal defect without persistent left superior vena cava: Three-dimensional imaging of a rare defect
Coronary sinus defects refer to interatrial communications that lie out of the confines of the atrial septum and leads from left to right shunt through the ostium of the coronary sinus. When associated with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), mild systemic desaturation may occur depending on the extent of unroofing of the coronary sinus. Isolated defects without PLSVC are rare. Three-di...
متن کاملAtrial Septal Defects in the Adult
Nomenclature and Classification There are 3 major types of ASDs or interatrial communications: ostium secundum, ostium primum, and sinus venosus (Figure 1A) defects. The ostium secundum is a true defect of the atrial septum and involves the region of the fossa ovalis. The ostium primum defect is within the spectrum of the atrioventricular (AV) septal defects (Figure 1B; also known as AV canal d...

We present an unusual case of an intracardiac Eustachian valve cyst observed concurrently with atresia of the coronary sinus ostium, a persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) and a bicuspid aortic valve. There have been several echocardiographic reports of Eustachian valve cysts; however, there is no report of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings related to a Eustachian valve cys...
