Successful Catheter Cryoablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Permanent Cardiac Pace-maker Implants

Year 2018, Volume: 21 Issue: 1, 70 - 71, 01.04.2018

Abstract

In
daily practice, several methods including electrocardiography, 24-hour Holter
ECG monitoring, or event recorders are frequently used for diagnosis and
follow-up of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Although these tests
provide crucial information, they may be insufficient in selected cases. In
this case, we utilized intracardiac electrocardiogram recordings for both
diagnosis of AF and detection of its recurrence in a patient with a permanent
pace-maker who underwent AF ablation because of symptomatic and asymptomatic
paroxysmal AF episodes. Because patients with permanent pacemakers are
continuously monitored via intracardiac recordings, we believe that it is the
most definite method for both diagnosis and monitoring of treatment success.

Kalıcı Kalp Pili İmplantı Olan Atriyal Fibrilasyonlu Hastada Başarılı Kateter Kriyoablasyon

Year 2018, Volume: 21 Issue: 1, 70 - 71, 01.04.2018

Abstract

Günlük
pratikte hastalarda atriyal fibrilasyon ataklarının tanı ve takibinde sıklıkla
elektrokardiyografi, ritim holter ve olay kaydedici kullanılmaktadır. Bu
testler önemli bilgi sağlasa da yetersiz kaldıkları olgular olabilmektedir. Biz
olgumuzda daha önce kalıcı kalp pili implante edilmiş, semptomatik ve asemptomatik
atriyal fibrilasyon atakları olan hastanın tanısının koyulmasında ve atriyal
fibrilasyon ablasyonu sonrası rekürrensin takibinde kalp içi kayıtlardan
faydalandık. Kalıcı kalp pili olan hastalarda, intrakardiyak kayıtlarla devamlı
takip sağladığından, hem tanı koymada hem de tedavi başarısını belirlemede
kullanılabilecek en kesin yöntem olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
