Altered dystrophin expression in the right atrium of a patient after Fontan procedure with atrial flutter.
Underlying mechanisms in the development of atrial flutter or intra-atrial re-entry tachycardia in patients with structural cardiac abnormalities remain poorly defined. The right atrial myocardium from two patients with congenital heart disease was evaluated, of whom one presented with severe right atrial dilation and arrhythmia and the other with a normal right atrium, to assess whether increa...

In the last 2 years he was seen twice because of AFl and on both occasions 1 mg of ibutilide IV resulted in the return of sinus rhythm with 1:1 A...
متن کاملDetection of right atrial and pulmonary artery thrombosis after the Fontan procedure by magnetic resonance imaging.
T he Fontan procedure has been extensively used for palliation of patients with univentricular heart defects. Thrombi and thromboembolic complications have been frequently reported after this operation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be very useful in patients with congenital heart disease and also in the detection of intracardiac masses and thrombosis. We describe for the f...

Pacemaker infection has multiple risk factors. Its presentation is most often similar to infected endocarditis and the diagnosis is made through studying blood cultures. Transesophageal echocardiography can confirm the diagnosis. The most common microorganisms are staphylococcus speciesis. As a matter of fact, complete pacemaker removal appears to be the only definite treatment. We presented a ...
