Abstract

Radiofrequency coblation is a new technology that is finding favour as a method for performing tonsillectomy. Its benefits include reduced pain and postoperative morbidity but there is controversy regarding possible increased postoperative haemorrhage rates.

Successful catheter ablation of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia during sinus rhythm.

Successful catheter ablation of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) can be performed at the site of the earliest Purkinje potential or at the site with recording of diastolic and presystolic Purkinje potentials simultaneously during ventricular tachycardia (VT). However, these critical potentials might be difficult to be recorded and mapped in some patients during VT. It is rare to report the ablation of ILVT during sinus rhythm. We present a case with ILVT who received successful catheter ablation during sinus rhythm.

Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia diagnosed by pacemaker electrograms.

Electrograms stored by pacemakers or implantable defibrillators enable the diagnosis of numerous atrial or ventricular arrhythmia episodes. We present the case of a patient implanted with a DDD pacemaker for sinus node dysfunction who experienced episodes of tachycardia. Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia was diagnosed by real-time analysis of electrograms during and at the onset of the tachycardia episodes. Electrophysiological study confirmed the diagnosis and led to radical treatment of the tachycardia by radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway.
