Left atrial ablation for the management of atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with pulmonary hypertension: A case series

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Key Teaching Points•Atrial tachyarrhythmias are common in patients with pulmonary hypertension, but there are limited data to inform rhythm control and catheter ablation strategies in this population.•Catheter ablation may serve as a meaningful component of the management strategy for atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with pulmonary hypertension.•Special considerations must be made for pulmonary hypertension patients regarding anesthesia and periprocedural management. •Atrial tachyarrhythmias are common in patients with pulmonary hypertension, but there are limited data to inform rhythm control and catheter ablation strategies in this population.•Catheter ablation may serve as a meaningful component of the management strategy for atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with pulmonary hypertension.•Special considerations must be made for pulmonary hypertension patients regarding anesthesia and periprocedural management.
