Why the study?
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation in the non-coronary aortic sinus eliminate atrial tachycardia originating from this region?
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation in the non-coronary aortic sinus eliminate atrial tachycardia originating from this region?
This case highlights the importance of mapping the non-coronary aortic sinus in focal atrial tachycardia located near the atrioventricular node or His-bundle.
RF ablation in the non-coronary aortic sinus may succeed after right His-bundle failure; single-case data leave open broader safety and efficacy.
We report a rare case of atrial tachycardia originating from the non-coronary aortic sinus. After failed radiofrequency (RF) energy applications at right His-bundle region, the complete elimination of atrial tachycardia was achieved with an RF energy application in the non-coronary aortic sinus. With the review of other papers, this report emphasizes the importance of mapping in the non-coronary aortic sinus in focal atrial tachycardia near the atrioventricular node or near the His-bundle.
