Atrial Isomerism

Total anomalous systemic venous return is a very rare anomaly, where vena cava inferior, vena cava superior, and coronary sinus drain into left atrium. Two-day-old male baby was admitted with cyanosis and tachypnea after the birth. Left atrial isomerism with anomalous systemic venous drainage was found on echocardiographic examination. We present an unusual case of total anomalous systemic venous drainage in to the left atrium.

Intracardiac and intravascular blood temperatures were measured in a group of 17 afebrile patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Using a cardiac catheter with a thermistor mounted at the tip, measurements were made in the following locations: different levels of the inferior vena cava, the superior vena cava, the renal, hepatic, and internal jugular veins, the right atrium, pulmonary artery and pulmonary artery wedge position, coronary sinus and right ventricle, and the left atrium and pulmonary veins (in subjects with atrial septal defects or patent foramen ovale). Data obtained confirm and extend observations made by other investigators. The blood temperature in the pulmonary artery, pulmonary artery wedge, left atrium, and pulmonary vein were found to be very nearly the same. Furthermore, temperature recordings made in different sites of the inferior vena cava, superior vena cava, right atrium, and pulmonary artery show variations phasic with respiration. The mechanism of these thermal variations is discussed. Submitted on February 5, 1962

AbstractAnomalously draining right pulmonary veins are expected with scimitar syndrome, but systemic venous abnormalities are rare. We present an unusual case of a female patient with scimitar and an interrupted inferior vena cava.

Abstract Background Transseptal puncture and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are generally performed via the inferior vena cava (IVC). However, in cases where the IVC is inaccessible, a specific strategy may be needed. Case summary An 86-year-old woman with paroxysmal AF and an IVC filter in situ was referred to our hospital for ablation therapy. An IVC filter for pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis had been implanted 15 years prior, therefore we selected a transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE)-guided transseptal puncture using a superior vena cava (SVC) approach. After the single transseptal puncture, we performed fast anatomical mapping, voltage mapping by multipolar mapping catheter, and then PVI by contact force-guided radiofrequency catheter using a steerable sheath. Following the ablation, bidirectional conduction block between the four pulmonary veins and the left atrium was confirmed by both radiofrequency and mapping catheter. No complications occurred and no recurrence of AF was documented in the 12 months after the procedure. Discussion When performing a transseptal puncture during AF ablation, an SVC approach, via access through the right internal jugular vein, enables the sheath to directly approach the left atrium without angulation and improves operability of the ablation catheter. Combining the use of general anaesthesia, TOE, a steerable sheath, and contact force-guided ablation may contribute to achieving minimally invasive PVI with a single transseptal puncture via an SVC approach.
