Junctional tachycardias(JT) are rare supraventricular
tachyarrhythmias observed mainly in infants and children. JT is rare in adult
patients, and it is associated with poor outcomes. In general, these supraventricular tachycardias
respond insufficiently to pharmacological treatment. In this report, we present the case of a 72-year-old patient with
incessant tachyarrhythmia in whom cryoablation of the para-Hisian ectopic focus
was successfully performed.

Yaşlı bir hastada junctional taşikardide başarılı kriyoablasyon: Olgu sunumu

Öz

Junctional taşikardiler (JT), çoğunlukla bebeklerde ve çocuklarda görülen nadir görülen supraventriküler taşiaritmidir. JT erişkin hastalarda nadirdir ve kötü sonuçlarla ilişkilidir. Genel olarak, bu supraventriküler taşikardiler farmakolojik tedaviye yetersiz cevap verirler. Bu yazıda, para-hisian ektopik odağının kriyoablasyonunun başarıyla yapıldığı, sürekli taşiaritmili 72 yaşında bir olguyu sunuyoruz.
