چکیده

Introduction Atrial tachycardias originating in the para-Hisian area are not exceptional. In order to avoid iatrogenic atrioventricular block, alternative techniques to conventional radiofrequency ablation have been proposed, such as cryoablation and, recently, ablation from aortic cusps. Nevertheless, para-Hisian areas in patients with transposition of great vessels are not always related to aortic cusps because the pulmonary artery is posterior to the aorta in these patients. We present a unique case of a patient with great vessel transposition and atrial tachycardia (AT) originating in the atrial septum. Due to the complex anatomy, ablation from the pulmonary cusp was needed to ablate the tachycardia.

Successful 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...

Incessant bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia in a patient with corrected transposition of the great arteries

Introduction Bundle branch reentrant tachycardia (BBRT) is an uncommon but clinically relevant macroreentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) involving an impaired His–Purkinje system and the ventricle as a reentrant circuit. BBRT is commonly associated with structural heart diseases, including cardiomyopathy, old myocardial infarction, valvular disease, and myotonic dystrophy. Patients with conge...

Pearls for ablation in congenital heart disease.

Tachyarrhythmias occur in patients having congenital heart disease most commonly related to surgically created or naturally occurring conduction obstacles, and to postoperative hemodynamic effects on cardiac muscle. Less frequently, the underlying disease is associated with tachycardia substrates. Thorough knowledge of the patient's congenital anatomy and surgical procedures is required before ...

Inappropriate sinus tachycardia after radiofrequency ablation of para-Hisian accessory pathways.

INTRODUCTION Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) has been observed following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the AV nodal fast pathway. This study was aimed to prospectively analyze the incidence and clinical significance of IST following RFA of para-Hisian accessory pathways (APs). METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-eight patients (pts) with para-Hisian APs underwent RFA. An AP was defined as par...
