Macroreentry within the SVC is a distinctive mechanism responsible for rapid atrial activation, which is different from other reported flutter mechanisms, such as upper loop reentry. SVC longitudinal radiofrequency application can eliminate the arrhythmia without the need for complete electrical disconnection of the vein.
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.
