Radiofrequency catheter ablation in a patient with dextrocardia, persistent left superior vena cava, and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Dextrocardia is a rare congenital heart disease, while the persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is an uncommon congenital vascular malformation. It is extremely rare for a person to have dextrocardia and PLSVC. A case with a combination of dextrocardia, PLSVC, and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia has not been reported.

Patient concerns

A 51-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with palpitations. The physical examination revealed a heart rate of patient increased significantly, and that apex beating was found in the right fifth intercostal space approximately 0.5 cm from the midclavicular line.

Diagnosis

We used different techniques, including electrocardiography, esophagus heart electrophysiology, chest radiograph, and cardiac color
