Successful Catheter Ablation of Atrial Tachycardia Originating from the Non-coronary Aortic Sinus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a rare case of atrial tachycardia originating from the non-coronary aortic sinus. After failed radiofrequency (RF) energy applications at right His-bundle region, the complete elimination of atrial tachycardia was achieved with an RF energy application in the non-coronary aortic sinus. With the review of other papers, this report emphasizes the importance of mapping in the non-coronary aortic sinus in focal atrial tachycardia near the atrioventricular node or near the His-bundle.

Focal atrial tachycardia originating from the non-coronary aortic sinus: electrophysiological characteristics and catheter ablation.
OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate electrophysiological characteristics and catheter ablation in patients with focal atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the non-coronary aortic sinus (AS). BACKGROUND In patients with failed ablation of focal AT near the His bundle (HB) region, an origin from the non-coronary AS should be considered because of the close anatomical relationship. METHODS...
متن کاملAblation of cardiac tissues by an electrode catheter technique for treatment of ectopic supraventricular tachycardia in adults.
Five patients with chronic or recurrent ectopic supraventricular tachycardias unresponsive to drugs underwent programmed stimulation, endocardial mapping, and attempted catheter ablation of the arrhythmia focus. For attempted ablation, an intracardiac electrode catheter was positioned near the exit point of the tachycardia and served as the cathode while a chest wall patch served as the anode. ...
متن کاملElectroanatomic Mapping-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation of Adenosine Sensitive Incessant Focal Atrial Tachycardia Originating from the Non-Coronary Aortic Cusp in a Child
Incessant focal atrial tachycardia may be encountered in the pediatric age group although it is rarely seen. Ablation using radiofrequency or cryothermal energy is the preferred method for drug-resistant cases. Recently, 3D electroanatomic mapping systems have been increasingly used for mapping and ablation. In this report, we presented, for the first time, a pediatric case with incessant focal...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of atypical atrial flutter and atrial tachycardia within the coronary sinus after left atrial ablation for atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to describe the prevalence and ablation of coronary sinus (CS) arrhythmias after left atrial ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). BACKGROUND The CS has been implicated in a variety of supraventricular arrhythmias. METHODS Thirty-eight patients underwent mapping and ablation of atypical flutter that developed during (n = 5) or after (n = 33) ablation f...

OBJECTIVES The study was done to characterize the electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic features of focal atrial tachycardia originating at the mitral annulus (MA). BACKGROUND Though the majority of left atrial tachycardias originate around the ostia of the pulmonary veins, only isolated reports have described focal tachycardia originating from the MA. METHODS Seven patients of a cons...
