Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of a right free-wall concealed accessory pathway was successfully performed using a simplified three-catheter technique in a patient with dextrocardia.
Case Report (n=1)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of an accessory pathway can be successfully and safely performed in patients with dextrocardia and complete situs inversus using a simplified three-catheter technique.
Supports feasibility of simplified ablation in dextrocardia; leaves open generalizability pending larger series.
HERREROS, B., et al.: Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of a Right Free‐Wall Accessory Pathway in Dextrocardia with Complete Situs Inversus. An uncommon case of orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia in a patient with dextrocardia and complete situs inversus is reported. There was no associated cardiac abnormality apart from the mirror image dextrocardia. An electrophysiological study and successful catheter ablation of a right free‐wall concealed accessory pathway was performed. A simplified three‐catheter technique from a femoral approach and monoplane fluoroscopy were used in a noncomplicated procedure of normal duration.
