Adenosine-Sensitive Focal Atrial Tachycardia Late After Atriopulmonary Connection Fontan Procedure: A Case Report. [PDF]
J ArrhythmWe describe a case of adenosine‐sensitive focal atrial tachycardia (AT) in a patient late after atriopulmonary connection (APC) Fontan procedure. Radiofrequency application successfully abolished the AT; meanwhile, conversion to total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) and/or Maze procedure may fail to suppress the AT because the origin was crista ...
