Radiofrequency catheter ablation of "typical" atrial flutter in a patient with Kartagener's syndrome

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of a Coronary Sinus-Ventricular Accessory Connection in Dextrocardia with Complete Situs Inversus and an Anomalous Inferior Vena Cava

An anomalous inferior vena cava (IVC) is often associated with patients with dextrocardia. However, radiofrequency catheter ablation in such a case with that combination has not been reported. We encountered a case of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with dextrocardia associated with complete situs inversus and an azygos continuation of the IVC. A steep angulation at the junction of the azygos vein and superior vena cava precluded the precise mapping of the anatomical right cavity with a femoral vein approach. Successful catheter ablation of an accessory connection between the coronary sinus and left ventricle could be achieved with a right cubital vein approach.

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of an Accessory Pathway in a Patient with Wolff‐Parkinson‐White and Kartagener's Syndrome

We report a case of a manifest left free wall accessory pathway in a patient with Kartagener's syndrome and recurrent episodes of orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first report of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome associated with Kartagener's syndrome. Situs inversus and mirror image dextrocardia occurred with no additional detectable cardiac structural abnormalities. Diagnostic and therapeutic electrophysiological study was carried out via transaortic approach and a left-to-right reversal of monoplane fluoroscopic image.
