Fast-slow Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia Incorporating
Superior and Inferolateral Left Atrial Slow Pathways
Abstract
A 70-year-old man revealed a rare type of atrioventricular nodal
reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) involving distinct retrograde pathways,
Superior Slow Pathway (SSP) and Inferolateral Left Atrial Slow Pathway
(ILA-SP). Radiofrequency ablation was successfully performed on the
non-coronary cusp and in the left atrium, respectively, to eliminate the
tachycardias. Due to the anomalous electrical conduction patterns,
careful diagnosis and ablation strategies were necessary to avoid the
risk of atrioventricular block. These findings underscore the diversity
and complexity of AVNRT and highlight the importance of tailored
therapeutic approaches.
