Sustained Dissociated Irregular Tachycardia in Two Pulmonary Veins After Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 64-year-old woman underwent radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation. After pulmonary vein (PV) isolation, she converted into sinus rhythm. However, irregular PV tachycardia "trapped" in the right and left superior pulmonary vein (RSPV/LSPV) sustained. Fifteen minutes after RSPV isolation, the RSPV tachycardia terminated. However, sustained LSPV tachycardia was still present after one hour. Three months later, a relapse of AF was confirmed and the patient underwent re-ablation. Re-conductance was observed in the RSPV and LSPV.

متن کاملArrhythmias in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension; A Narrative Review of the Current Literature
Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension. Common findings in these patients were elevated right atrial pressure and diameters and reduced tricuspid annula...

A case of macro-reentrant tachycardia associated with a box lesion after thoracoscopis left atrial surgical atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation yet to be described. The goal was to clarify the mechanisms and electrophysiological characteristics of this type of tachycardia. A patient was admitted for an EP study following surgical thoracoscopic AF ablation (box lexion formation by right-sided Cobr...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of the Pulmonary Veins as Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation - 05/12
Radiofrequency ablation using a percutaneous catheter-based approach is widely used to treat supraventricular arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation frequently arises from an abnormal focus at or near the junction of the pulmonary veins and the left atrium, thus leading to the feasibility of more focused ablation techniques directed at these structures. Catheter-based ablation, using both radiofreque...
متن کاملTransition from atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia to atrial fibrillation begins in the pulmonary veins.
A37-year-old man with frequent episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation refractory to antiarrhythmic therapy (and no other documented arrhythmias on multiple Holter examinations) underwent an attempt at radiofrequency ablation of the atrial fibrillation. Catheter positions are shown in the left anterior oblique view in Figure 1 and include 2 catheters in the left and right upper pulmonary vei...
