Abstract
If a transfemoral approach for catheter ablation procedures of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias is impossible, other access sites have to be considered. We present the case of a 78-year-old woman with an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter with symptomatic episodes of an atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). We used a combined cubital and axillary vein approach. The tachycardia was successfully ablated within the timeframe needed for conventional ablation.Entities:
