Discussion

Supports aneurysm resection for refractory atrial tachycardia; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Population

1 21-year-old male Seychellian soldier with incessant atrial tachycardia arising from an atrial aneurysm.

Intervention

Intravenous adenosine triphosphate and ajmaline, followed by surgical resection of the atrial aneurysm.

Outcome

Suppression of arrhythmia and re-establishment of sinus rhythm.surrogate

Surgical resection of an atrial aneurysm can successfully abolish incessant atrial tachycardia and restore sinus rhythm.

Perelman et al. (1987) studied this question.
