Permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT) is an infrequent form of atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia. We report the clinical and electrophysiological properties of PJRT and outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RCA) in a large group of patients.
We included 62 patients with the diagnosis of PJRT. Radiofrequency catheter ablation was performed in all.
Location of accessory pathway was right posteroseptal in 37 (59,7%) cases, right midseptal in 3 (4,8%), left posterior in 7 (11,3%), left lateral in 5 (8,1%), left posterolateral in 3 (4,8%), left anterolateral in 2 (3,2%), left posteroseptal in 2 (3,2%), middle cardiac vein in 2 (3,2%), and left coronary cusp in 1 (1,6%). Single procedure success rate was 90.3%. None of patients had recurrence during follow-up after repeat ablations. Overall long-term success rate was 98.4%. Left ventricular systolic function recovered in all patients with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC).
Retrograde decremental accessory pathways are mainly located in posteroseptal region. Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a safe and effective approach in patients with PJRT.
永久性交接区折返性心动过速(PJRT)是一种少见的房室折返性心动过速形式。我们报告了一组大样本PJRT 患者的临床和电生理特征以及射频导管消融(RCA)的结果。
我们纳入了 62 例 PJRT 患者。所有患者均行射频导管消融术。
旁路的位置为右后间隔 37 例(59.7%),右中隔 3 例(4.8%),左后 7 例(11.3%),左外侧 5 例(8.1%),左后外侧 3 例(4.8%),左前外侧 2 例(3.2%),左后间隔 2 例(3.2%),心大静脉 2 例(3.2%),左冠状动脉瓣 1 例(1.6%)。单次手术成功率为 90.3%。重复消融后无患者复发。总长期成功率为 98.4%。所有心动过速性心肌病(TIC)患者的左心室收缩功能均恢复正常。
逆行递减性旁路主要位于后间隔区。射频导管消融术是治疗 PJRT 患者的一种安全有效的方法。
