A 73-year-old woman had undergone hemiarch replacement with primary entry resection for treating acute type A dissection 6 years ago. Postoperative computed tomography (CT) showed a patent false lumen (FL) in the aortic arch and a reentry tear in the right subclavian artery. The remaining aortic arch enlarged, which resulted in formation of a 55-mm-diameter aneurysm. We performed reentry occlus...

We report the case of a 46-year old patient in whom an electrophysiology study (EP) was performed due to paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia documented in 12-lead ECG. During the EP study, supraventricular tachycardia was induced easily and it corresponded to orthodromic AV reentry tachycardia (AVRT) using a concealed left free wall accessory pathway. However, during the study AVRT spontane...

The prediction of the on-ground risk caused by re-entering space debris requires accurate and computationally affordable models to compute wall heat flux pressure coefficient Cp at every stage reentry. Such already exist for wind area debris, i.e directly impinged upon fictitious lines parallel incoming flow. But are often neglected in shadow area, even though they can be relatively high certai...

Introduction A human anatomic study has shown that a cuff of striated muscle consistently surrounds the venous wall of the coronary sinus (CS) and is connected to the left atrium (LA) by muscular bundles in a variable fashion. The presence of electrical connections between the CS musculature and LA myocardium provides a potential anatomic substrate for reentry. In fact, atypical atrial flutter ...

Introduction A supraventricular reentrant tachycardia (SVT) appearing after cardiac surgery is known to have a complicated reentrant circuit, such as a figure-8 pattern based on a double-loop reentry using both an incisional line and the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI). In order to determine the reentrant circuit of the SVT, detailed mapping using a 3-dimensional (3-D) electroanatomical mapping sys...
