Cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation facilitated by integrated
electroanatomical mapping for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a
patient with Kartagener’s syndrome: a case report
Abstract
We describe the first case of cryoballoon (CB) pulmonary vein isolation
(PVI) facilitated by perioperative electroanatomical mapping (EAM) in a
patient with dextrocardia due to Kartagener’s syndrome and highly
symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Current case report
highlights the different advantages of the addition of EAM to CB
ablation for AF. This approach is feasible strategy for rhythm control
in patients with atrial fibrillation and Kartagener’s syndrome for which
medication can be contra-indicated.
