| Title | Supravalvular arrhythmia: identifying and ablating the substrate. | | Author(s) | Tabatabaei N, Asirvatham SJ | | Institution | Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Diseases, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905, USA. | | Source | Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol 2009 Jun; 2(3):316-26. | | Abstract | Supravalvar ablation has now been well documented to be the ideal mode for ablating specific forms of ventricular tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, and accessory pathways. A studied appreciation of the anatomy of the supravalvar region is a prerequisite for electrophysiologists to safely and effectively approach these arrhythmias. In addition, the consistent ability to correlate the recorded electrograms with fluoroscopic anatomy and intracardiac ultrasound images enhances the chance of successful elimination of supravalvar arrhythmias. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
