Kill two birds with one stone: curing accessory pathways and premature ventricular contractions with one ablation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiofrequency catheter ablation has been used for treating cardiac arrhythmias, such as premature ventricular contractions and accessory pathway. We report two cases with successful ablation of left-sided accessory pathways and premature ventricular contractions from mitral annulus with one ablation. To our knowledge, no similar reports have been found so far.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation in the treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
Introduction: Tachyarrhythmias in Wolf Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome, can be a life threatening factor. Antiarrhythmic drug therapy in this syndrome, has not been completely acceptable. Efficacy, safety and economy of Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation (RFCA) in western studies, has made it as the treatment of choice. In the present study, efficacy of RFCA in the ablation of accessory pathway...
متن کاملPremature ventricular contractions with two QRS morphologies originate from one focus in great cardiac vein
It has been demonstrated that catheter ablation may be a reliable technique for curing ventricular arrhythmias originating from the great cardiac vein (GCV), and there are some challenges and risks with this therapeutic method. Although some reports described successful catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardias originating from the GCV, premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) with left bu...
متن کاملLeft anterior descending artery spasm after radiofrequency catheter ablation for ventricular premature contractions originating from the left ventricular outflow tract
Introduction Coronary artery injury or vasospasm can occur as a direct thermal effect of radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation. The right coronary artery (RCA) and left circumflex artery (LCx) are adjacent to the valvular annuli and are likely to suffer from ablation-related injury when RF energy is delivered to accessory pathways or the mitral isthmus. The right ventricular outflow tract also ...

Background. Radiofrequency energy has been used safely and successfully to eliminate accessory pathways in patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and the substrate for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. However, this form of ablation has had only limited success in eliminating ventricular tachycardia in patients with structural heart disease. In contrast, direct-current cat...
متن کاملTransient Global Amnesia After Ablation of the Left Lateral Accessory Pathway
Transient global amnesia (TGA) could be encountered in many situations even during invasive procedures. In ablation therapy for arrhythmia, there was only one reported case in the ablation of premature ventricular beats. We report a 31-year-old man having paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia who underwent TGA at the end of ablation and recovered quickly after 8-9 hours later. Long-term follo...
