Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in a Patient With SV ASD and PAPVR Preceding Transcatheter Septal Closure

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in adults with unrepaired atrial septal defects (ASDs). Sinus venosus (SV) ASDs associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) are traditionally managed surgically. We report the first AF catheter ablation in a patient with SV ASD and PAPVR preceding transcatheter ASD repair with a covered stent. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
