Catheter ablation of atrial tachycardia after interatrial defect repair with patch apposition.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 54-year-old woman with history of septal atrial mixoma surgically treated and drug-refractory supraventricular tachyarrhythmia underwent catheter ablation of macro-reentry areas near the pericardial patch placed to repair an interatrial defect. The use of ablative therapy has been successful to cure this arrhythmia.

Catheter ablation of Atrial Incisional Tachycardia mistaken for Atrial flutter
Incisional sustained tachycardias are frequent in patients who have undergone a surgical repair of interatrial defect. A 43-year-old woman with drug refractory, highly symptomatic, persistent atrial tachycardia in the last year, was referred to our unit for catheter ablation. The patient had undergone a cardiac operation for repairing interatrial secundum ostium type defect with a patch five ye...

Patients with functionally single ventricle undergo several operations in order to regulate pulmonary blood flow; however, it limits the access to the chambers of the heart. Incisional tachycardia after surgery is frequently life threatening. Because it rarely responds to medical treatment, radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an optimal option with a relatively high success rate. A 7-year-old boy w...

A 58-year-old man with hypertension and diabetes with recurrent persistent symptomatic atrial fibrillation resistant to sotalol-facilitated cardioversions was referred for ablation. Catheter-based radiofrequency ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation was performed, which consisted of isolation of all 4 pulmonic veins; linear ablations along the left atrial roof; an ablation line from the l...
متن کاملSuccessful catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries after double switch operation
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) may cause sudden death late after repair of congenital heart disease. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (CA) of VT can be effective but may be hampered by hypertrophied myocardium or prosthetic material. A 33-year-old man with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) had undergone a double switch operation (DSO) with the combined Mustard and...
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. ...
