This study details the first catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) in a patient with a sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SV ASD) and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) before stent repair.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Cardiac Surgery
Background:
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently affects adults with unrepaired atrial septal defects (ASDs).
- Sinus venosus (SV) ASDs with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) typically require surgical intervention.
- Managing AF in patients with complex congenital heart defects presents unique challenges.
