Abstract:Cryoballoon ablation of an arrhythmogenic focus alongside a pulmonary vein as an alternative to radiofrequency ablation may be feasible and safe in patients with situs inversus and dextrocardia.
“…In recent years, in addition to radiofrequency ablation, balloon cryoablation has also been used to treat arrhythmias in patients with dextrocardia. Akkaya et al 16 reported the first case of cryoballoon ablation in a patient with focal atrial tachycardia in dextrocardia. The successful ablation of abnormal potentials originating in the superior pulmonary vein inferior to the ramus under the guidance of the Ensite system suggests that cryoballoon ablation may also be safe and feasible in patients with dextrocardia combined with arrhythmias.…”
Brief Introduction: This article summarizes a case of
successful radiofrequency ablation of atrial tachycardia in a patient
with dextrocardia in combination with intracardiac echocardiography, and
summarizes the relevant experience.

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.
