Abstract. Safe and efficient radiofrequency catheter ablation depends significantly on the proper placement of dispersive patch electrodes (DPEs), on the s

Background: Current maneuvers for differentiation of atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) and atrioventricular reentry tachycardia (AVRT) lack sensitivity and specificity for AVRT circuit...

In recent years, catheter ablation has emerged as the cornerstone strategy for treating atrial fibrillation (AF).1,2 Although several complications of catheter ablation have been reported,3 clinically manifest coronary artery injury during catheter ablation of AF remains rare (0.14%).4 However, the occurrence of coronary artery injury is reported to be even rarer than coronary artery spasms. In cases with an acute coronary artery occlusion, nitroglycerin can be injected into the coronary artery to alleviate the coronary artery spasms, but if this does not improve, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) becomes necessary.
