Catheter ablation of anteroseptal accessory pathways from the aortic cusps: A case series and a review of the literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Data regarding catheter ablation of anteroseptal accessory pathways through the aortic cusps are limited. We describe two cases of true para-Hisian accessory pathways successfully ablated from the aortic cusps (right coronary cusp and non-coronary cusp, respectively) along with a review of the current literature. Due to the close proximity to the atrioventricular node and the high risk of complication, mapping of the aortic cusps should always be considered in the case of anteroseptal accessory pathways. Anteroseptal accessory pathways can be safely and effectively ablated from the aortic cusps with good long-term outcomes.

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...

For patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, several algorithms have been published for the prediction of the location of accessory pathways (APs) from the QRS morphology on the ECG. Hence, these algorithms may fail to identify the locations of midseptal or right APs (1, 2). APs may traverse the central fibrous trigone or involve the right atrial appendage; these may be mistaken as a...

BACKGROUND Accessory pathways may be located in close proximity to the His bundle, resulting in a high risk of heart block during attempted surgical or electrical interruption of these pathways. This study reports the prevalence, ECG characteristics, and results of catheter ablation of parahissian accessory pathways. They were defined on the basis of both the presence of a high amplitude (> 0.1...

BACKGROUND Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) originating from aortic sinus cusps is not infrequent and can be eliminated effectively by radiofrequency ablation with rare complications. However, after a review of the medical literature, and to our knowledge, this is the first case of successful idiopathic aortic sinus cusps-PVC-ablation using a 3-dimensional (3D) mapping system in an adu...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation for WPW syndrome with monitoring the local electrogram at the ablation site.
Catheter ablation for septal accessory pathways is occasionally associated with complications, such as atrioventricular block, since the septal region is a complex anatomical structure containing the atrioventricular conduction system. Therefore, we designed a signal separator composed of an inductance-capacitance network with which the local electrogram at the ablation site could be continuous...
