May inform jugular access when femoral routes unavailable in heterotaxy infants; leaves open generalizability and long-term outcomes.
Kato et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Tachycardia associated with twin atrioventricular nodes in heterotaxy and interruption of inferior vena cava (n=1). Ablation using an upper approach from the left internal jugular vein was evaluated on Successful ablation of atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia. Atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia associated with twin AVNs in an infant with heterotaxy was successfully ablated using an upper approach from the left internal jugular vein.
