Commonest arrhythmia in the transplanted heart is typical cavotricuspid atrial flutter. Atrial fibrillation is uncommon due to either pulmonary vein isolation or denervation.
Rastelli procedure is done in cases of D-Transposition of great arteries with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and ventricular septal defect, when arterial switch is not feasible.
On LV (left ventricle) to aorta pull back, aortic pressure rises due to relief of the enhanced obstruction of the aortic orifice which had occurred while entering the
Echocardiogram video showing large aortic valve vegetation and prolapse of a scallop of the anterior mitral leaflet. Left atrium and left ventricle are dilated due to mitral and
Cor triatriatum or heart with three atrial chambers, could be either cor triatriatum sinistrum or cor triatriatum dexter depending on which side the additional chamber is present.
Epicardial fat makes it difficult to ablate epicardial accessory pathways by epicardial route as the fat in the AV groove prevents ablation energy from reaching the pathways at
