Successful catheter ablation of reentrant junctional tachycardia in a patient with asplenia syndrome before total cavo-pulmonary connection.
Asplenia syndrome is commonly associated with complex structural cardiac malformations, and junctional tachycardia (JT), which may compromise hemodynamic status, has been reported in association with asplenia syndrome.(1) We report successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of reentrant JT in a patient with asplenia syndrome.
