A 58-year-old male was referred for catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. He was incidentally diagnosed with cor triatriatum sinister by preoperative transesophageal echocardiography and cardiovascular computed tomography. The patient has since been free from atrial fibrillation for over 24 months following successful electrical pulmonary vein isolation. The rapidly soaring number of cases undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and imaging investigation prior to the procedure may increase the incidental detection of asymptomatic congenital heart diseases.
一名58岁男性因心房颤动接受导管消融治疗。术前经食管超声心动图和心血管计算机断层扫描偶然诊断为左三房心。自成功进行肺静脉电隔离后,该患者已无房颤超过24个月。因心房颤动接受导管消融治疗的病例数量迅速增加,且术前进行影像学检查,这可能会增加无症状先天性心脏病的偶然发现。
