Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

In Ebstein’s anomaly, there is downward or apical displacement of posterior and septal tricuspid leaflets. The anterior leaflet is not displaced, but is elongated to meet the other leaflets, so that when it closes, a loud sound, tricuspid sound, is produced, which is called as the sail sound.

Distribution Variance of Focal Atrial Tachycardia Foci and Long‐Term Outcomes After Ablation: Experience From Two Chinese Centers

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods and Results A total of 323 consecutive FAT patients who underwent electrophysiological study and radiofrequency catheter ablation between January 2011 and March 2023 were selected for this study. Young adults had a higher proportion of FAT originating from the superior vena cava and pulmonary veins. After a mean follow-up of 47.2

Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia originating from the vicinity of lateral tricuspid annulus: the precise origin and anatomical concerns

HeartRhythm

Although the electrcardiographic and electrophysiological properties of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) from the vicinity of lateral tricuspid annulus (TA) have been reported in previous studies, their precise site of origin have not been addressed.

Efficacy and Safety of High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation for Cavo‐Tricuspid Isthmus With a Flexible‐Tip Temperature‐Controlled Power Regulation Catheter Performed by Electrophysiology Trainees

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction The suitability of high-power short-duration (HPSD) cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation (CTI-Abl) for electrophysiology (EP) trainees, as well as the underlying mechanisms of its efficacy, remain unknown.

Pitfalls in diagnosis of atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia by a conventional electrophysiological study.

HeartRhythm

During atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), the earliest atrial activation site following retrograde slow pathway (SP) conduction is at the atrial exit of the left inferior extension (LIE) in the coronary sinus (CS) or the right inferior extension (RIE) on the tricuspid annulus (TA).

Atrioventricular Node Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in a Patient With EVOQUE Tricuspid Valve: A First Reported Case

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

However, AV node ablation in patients with bioprosthetic tricuspid valves poses technical challenges. Methods An 84-year-old male with an EVOQUE transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement underwent AV node ablation (AVNA) under intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance.

Outcomes of tricuspid regurgitation after lead extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Transvenous leads have been implicated in tricuspid valve (TV) dysfunction, but limited data are available regarding the effect of extracting leads across the TV on valve regurgitation. Methods We studied 321 patients who had echocardiographic data before and after lead extraction.
