AI Article Synopsis
- Isolated interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare condition, and typical atrial flutter has been noted in patients with this anomaly.
- The use of 3-dimensional activation mapping for managing these cases has not been previously documented.
- This report details the successful ablation of atrial flutter in a 63-year-old woman using a superior approach via the internal jugular vein and a mapping system.
Article Abstract
The presence of isolated interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) is very rare. Though the occurrence of typical atrial flutter in this setting has recently been described, the use of 3-dimensional activation mapping to aid the management of such patients has not yet been described. We report the successful ablation of this arrhythmia in a 63-year-old woman using the superior route through the internal jugular vein with the help of a mapping system.
