Atrial flutter in the donor part of orthotopic heart transplants has been reported and successfully treated by radiofrequency ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus, but mapping and ablation of atypical flutter circuits may be challenging.(1) Entrainment mapping has been used in combination with activation mapping to define the mechanism of atypical atrial flutter. Here, we report a case where colour-coded three-dimensional (3D) entrainment mapping allowed us to accurately determine and visualize the 3D location of the reentrant circuit and to plan the ablation of a left atrial flutter without the need for activation mapping.
报道称,在同种异体心脏移植供心部分可出现房扑,并成功通过消融三尖瓣峡部的射频来治疗,但对非典型房扑环的标测和消融可能具有挑战性。(1) 拖带标测已与激动标测联合用于明确非典型房扑的机制。在此,我们报告了一例病例,彩色编码的三维(3D)拖带标测使我们能够准确确定和可视化折返环的 3D 位置,并规划无需激动标测的左房扑消融。
