Patient with Atrioventricular Node Reentrant Tachycardia with Eccentric Retrograde Left-sided Activation. Treatment with Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation.

We describe a patient with supraventricular tachycardia with triple atrioventricular (AV) node pathway physiology. A discontinuous curve was present in the antegrade AV nodal function curves. During right ventricular pacing, the earliest retrograde atrial activation was recorded at the left-sided coronary sinus electrode. The retrograde ventricular-atrial interval was long and had decremental conduction. We induced a slow-slow AV node reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with eccentric retrograde left-sided activation. After slow pathway ablation, dual AV nodal pathway physiology was present. AVNRT with eccentric retrograde left-sided activation is relatively rare, and our findings suggest that eccentric retrograde left-sided atrial inputs consist partially of a slow pathway and disappear with slow pathway ablation.
