Ventricular premature complexes originating from the tricuspid valve can be a major challenge for the electrophysiologist. Anatomical features of the tricuspid valve impose limitations for mapping and catheter ablation through the femoral vein (inferior approach). In this case, we report the elimination of a ventricular ectopy by radiofrequency catheter ablation through the transjugular approach after three unsuccessful attempts through the inferior approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
