Pulsed-field ablation with a pentaspline catheter was used to isolate the right superior vena cava, persistent left superior vena cava, and posterior wall of the left atrium in a single case.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates the feasibility of using pulsed-field ablation with a pentaspline catheter to isolate the right superior vena cava, persistent left superior vena cava, and posterior wall of the left atrium in a patient with recurrent persistent atrial fibrillation.
Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a novel technology for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation that can deliver energy precisely with a lower risk of damage to the surrounding organs. Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a congenital variant that can act as a driver of AF, and its isolation may be required in recurrent persistent AF. We describe a case where PFA was used for isolation of the right superior vena cava, PLSVC, and posterior wall of the left atrium.
Gupta et al. (Sun,) conducted a case report in Recurrent persistent atrial fibrillation (n=1). Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) with a pentaspline catheter was evaluated on Isolation of the right superior vena cava, persistent left superior vena cava, and posterior wall of the left atrium. Pulsed-field ablation with a pentaspline catheter was used to isolate the right superior vena cava, persistent left superior vena cava, and posterior wall of the left atrium in a single case.
