Successful alcohol septal ablation for late recurrence of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after surgical myectomy in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Tromp F, Devos D, De Backer J Related Articles Successful alcohol septal ablation for late recurrence of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after surgical myectomy in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Acta Cardiol. 2008 Apr;63(2):271-5 Authors: Tromp F, Devos D, De Backer J An 18-year-old male patient, known with familial hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy underwent a septal myectomy 10 years ago for significant left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. During follow-up a progressive increase in LVOT gradient was noted in association with severe mitral valve regurgitation. The patient underwent percutaneous alcohol septal ablation to induce regression of left ventricular hypertrophy. Coronary angiography, with intracoronary contrast and guided by echocardiographic imaging, was applied for localisation of the appropriate septal branch. The vessel was subsequently injected with 1.5 cc ethanol. No procedure-related complications were reported. The LVOT gradient decreased from 90 mmHg to 48 and 45 mmHg at rest 6 weeks and 6 months, respectively, after the procedure. Mitral valve regurgitation was significantly reduced. This case nicely illustrates the feasibility of percutaneous alcohol septal ablation for recurrent LVOT obstruction 10 years after myectomy. PMID: 18468210 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
A pseudo sinus tachycardia originating from the right superior pulmonary vein. Successful ablation by a simplified, targeted ablation strategy.
Scavee C, Brasseur A, Weerasooriya R Related Articles A pseudo sinus tachycardia originating from the right superior pulmonary vein. Successful ablation by a simplified, targeted ablation strategy. Acta Cardiol. 2008 Apr;63(2):265-9 Authors: Scavee C, Brasseur A, Weerasooriya R We report the case of a young woman suffering from a permanent ectopic atrial tachycardia originating from the right superior pulmonary vein and mimicking a sinus tachycardia on the ECG. Using only 2 quadripolar catheters after a transseptal approach, the focus was successfully mapped to the posterior wall of the right superior pulmonary vein. The focus was successfully ablated during the same procedure using a 4-mm tip-irrigated catheter. PMID: 18468209 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
Arrhythmias in cardiac catheterization laboratories.
Gorenek B Related Articles Arrhythmias in cardiac catheterization laboratories. Acta Cardiol. 2008 Apr;63(2):259-63 Authors: Gorenek B Several kinds of arrhythmias, such as ventricular arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, bradycardias and conduction disturbances can occur in cardiac catheterization laboratories. The patients' characteristics, the type of procedure, the features of the target vessel and the type of lesion play important roles in the occurrence of arrhythmia. A majority of the arrhythmias tend to revert spontaneously, but special treatment must be given promptly when necessary. In this paper, we will review the pathophysiology, clinical importance and treatment strategies for arrhythmias that occurred during diagnostic cardiac catheterization and PCI in cardiac catheterization laboratories.
