Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can lead to rare peri-mitral atrial tachycardia (PMT). Radiofrequency ablation successfully treated a patient’s persistent PMT one year after TAVR, highlighting the need for monitoring and intervention.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a standard treatment for severe aortic stenosis.
- Atrial fibrillation and conduction disturbances are known TAVR complications.
- Peri-mitral atrial tachycardia (PMT) is a less common but significant post-TAVR arrhythmia.
