Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A case is presented of a 20-year-old woman with a history of three episodes of syncope within the last 4 years, which was caused by a rapid ventricular response to atrial fibrillation via a left-sided posterior accessory pathway. A variety of antiarrhythmic agents had failed to control the arrhythmia. Using a novel dual catheter approach, with one catheter in the coronary sinus and an adjacent catheter in the left ventricle close to the mitral annulus, accessory pathway conduction was successfully interrupted by two radio-frequency current applications between the tip electrodes of the two catheters. During follow-up, 12-lead electrocardiograms have been normal and the patient has been asymptomatic. |
