Abstract

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, and atrioventricular (AV) node ablation with pacemaker implantation is a therapeutic option for refractory cases. However, AV node ablation in patients with bioprosthetic tricuspid valves poses technical challenges.

Methods: An 84-year-old male with an EVOQUE transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement underwent AV node ablation (AVNA) under intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance.

Results: Successful AV block was achieved with precise catheter positioning, improving the patient's symptoms and ventricular rate control.

Conclusion: This case demonstrates the feasibility of AVNA in patients with tricuspid bioprostheses, demonstrating feasibility with ICE guidance.

EVOQUE三尖瓣心房颤动患者房室结消融：首例报道。

房颤（AF）是最常见的心律失常，房室（AV）结消融联合起搏器植入是治疗难治性病例的一种选择。然而，生物假体三尖瓣患者房室结消融存在技术挑战。方法：84岁男性，经EVOQUE导管三尖瓣置换术，在心内超声心动图（ICE）指导下行房室结消融（AVNA）。结果：通过精确的导管定位，获得了成功的房室传导阻滞，改善了患者的症状并控制了心室率。结论：本病例证明了AVNA在三尖瓣生物假体患者中的可行性，证明了ICE指导下的可行性。
