Successful slow pathway ablation in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare vascular variant which can add difficulties to slow pathway (SP) ablation procedures because of the disturbed anatomy of the triangle of Koch. We describe a case of a successful SP ablation using an anatomical approach in a patient with PLSVC.

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation Of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia Associated With Anomalous Drainage Of Both Superior Vena Cava Into Coronary Sinus
Total upper body drainage via left superior vena cava into coronary sinus (i.e. absent right superior vena cava) is a rare anomaly and distorts the anatomy of coronary sinus and triangle of Koch. Herewith we are reporting the first report of ablation in a patient with superior vena cava draining into coronary sinus totally. This patient with atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia, baseli...
متن کاملSuccessful left-sided accessory pathway ablation without reference catheter in patient with atresia of coronary sinus and thin persistent left superior vena cava
We report a case of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) with ostial atresia of the coronary sinus (CS). Without the anatomic angiography, radiofrequency (RF) energy was applied at the mitral valve annulus and the bypass tract was eliminated. After the therapy procedure, by CS angiography, we knew the persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), and the coronary sinus was connected with...
متن کاملElectrophysiological characteristics of AV nodal reentrant tachycardia associated with persistent left superior vena cava
Background: The course of the AV nodal slow pathway in patients with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) has not been fully elucidated, and its optimal ablation site remains controversial. The present study investigated the electrophysiological characteristics of AV nodal reentrant tachycardias (AVNRTs) associated with PLSVC and the safety and efficacy of their radiofrequency catheter ab...
متن کاملAtrial 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 کاملSurgical correction of isolated persistent left superior vena cava draining to left atrium in a neonate.
A one day old baby who presented with cyanosis was later shown to have an isolated persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium with hypoplastic right superior vena cava. This extremely rare anomaly was diagnosed by cardiac catheterisation at one week. Surgical correction at two weeks, by anastomosis of the innominate vein to the right atrium and by ligation of the left supe...
