Termination of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Resistant to Cardioversion by a Single Radiofrequency Application

PACING AND CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY, Issue 6 2003
BENGT HERWEG
This report describes the termination of persistent AF refractory to multiple cardioversions and antiarrhythmic therapy in a patient without structural heart disease, with a single radiofrequency application delivered in the left upper pulmonary vein. The observations and failure of repeated internal and external cardioversion suggest a rapidly firing arrhythmia focus sustaining atrial fibrillation amenable to curative pulmonary vein ablation.

Successful Catheter Ablation and Documentation of the Activation and Propagation Pattern During a Left Atrial Focal Tachycardia in a Patient with Cor Triatriatum Sinister

Atrial Tachycardia in Cor Triatriatum. We report a case of an atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the left atrium (LA) associated with cor triatriatum sinister. Electroanatomical mapping of the 2 subdivided chambers of the LA during the AT revealed a centrifugal activation pattern from the posterior wall of the accessory chamber near the left superior pulmonary vein. The propagation map on the CARTO system revealed that the AT wave front spread centrifugally over the "accessory chamber," turned around the edge of the membrane subdividing the LA, and then spread over the "main chamber." A single radiofrequency application successfully abolished the AT. (J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. 21, pp. 1050-1054, September 2010) [source]


Atrial Tachycardia Originating from the Upper Left Atrial Septum: Demonstration of Transseptal Interatrial Conduction Using the Infolded Atrial Walls

JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY, Issue 8 2006
KOJI KUMAGAI M.D.
We report a rare case of atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the upper left atrial septum. Electroanatomic mapping of both atria demonstrated that the earliest atrial activation during AT occurred at the upper left atrial septum 26 msec before the onset of the P wave, followed by the mid-right atrial septum (10 msec before the onset of the P wave) and then the upper right atrial septum just adjacent to the left septal AT site (1 msec before the onset of the P wave), indicating detour pathway conduction from the upper left to the upper right atrium. Embryologically, it was suggested that the superior components of the secondary atrial septum are made by the infolded atrial walls and could develop a transseptal detour pathway involving the left-side atrial septal musculature, the superior rim of the oval fossa and the right-side atrial septal musculature. A single radiofrequency application targeting the upper left atrial septum successfully abolished the AT. [source]
