Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation on Patient with Situs Inversus Totalis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 56-year-old male with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation refractory to class IC and class III antiarrhythmic drugs was admitted to our hospital for radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. During preoperative examination situs inversus totalis was revealed. Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation was successfully performed with atrial fibrillation termination and elimination of all PV potentials. The procedure was performed without any complications. Our report shows that PV isolation for treatment of drug-refractory atrial fibrillation can be safely performed in patients with dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis.

Successful cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation in a patient with situs inversus and dextrocardia
A 79-year-old man with situs inversus and dextrocardia underwent catheter ablation of symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), using second-generation cryoballoon under Ensite NavX system guidance, was performed successfully in a reverse manner, which required short procedure and fluoroscopy times, as required in a PVI performed on a normal heart without any c...
متن کاملPulmonary vein and cavotricuspid isthmus ablation in situs inversus totalis
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation is feasible in patients with situs inversus totalis. Orientation challenges are improved with the use of electroanatomical mapping prior to transseptal puncture. Care must be taken to note the opposing anatomic locations of important structures such as the left atrial appendage, descending aorta, and phrenic nerve.
متن کاملA Rare Case of Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus Totalis in a Patient of Diabetic Mother
Infants of diabetic mothers are significantly at higher risk for major congenital malformations, with cardiovascular anomalies that is the most frequent. In this study, we presented a rare case of dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis (mirror-image dextrocardia) with multiple congenital heart anomalies who was born from a diabetic mother.
متن کاملMyocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging in Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus: A Case Report
Dextrocardia is a cardiac positional anomaly in which the heart is located in the right hemithorax with its base-to-apex axis directed to the right and caudad. Situs inversus is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes organs in the chest and abdomen to be positioned in a mirror image from their normal position. Dextrocardia may occur in isolation or as part of situs inversus. Similarly, sit...
