Demonstrates feasibility of hybrid sternotomy ablation in univentricular heart; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Hybrid procedures that combine surgical and interventional techniques are increasingly utilized in patients with congenital heart disease. We performed a novel hybrid intervention involving transcatheter ablation via a sternotomy approach and atriotomy incision. A recalcitrant accessory pathway was successfully ablated in a patient with hemodynamically unstable supraventricular tachycardia and an extracadiac Fontan for hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
