SUCCESSFUL FLUTTER CATHETER ABLATION THROUGH THE AZYGOS CONTINUATION DUE TO AN INTERRUPTED INFERIOR VENA CAVA

Successful flutter catheter ablation through the azygos continuation due to an interrupted inferior vena cava

Inferior vena cava IVC is a crucial route for catheter access (both directly to the right heart and indirectly through a transeptal puncture to the left heart, used in most electrophysiological procedures).However, interrupted IVC is a real challenge to traditional arrythmia ablation approaches, compromising in certain cases the success of the proc
