ABSTRACT
We herein report successful cryoablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation via right jugular vein in a patient with interrupted inferior vena cava. We preferred cryoablation instead of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of our patient. For stronger support in aiming the Brockenbrough needle toward the septum, we manuallly curved the needle with a 120° angle about 6 cm proximal to the tip. After successful transseptal puncture, we performed balloon dilatation in the septal puncture zone to facilitate passage. Cryoablation has theoretical advantage, particularly in challenging anatomies, in which it eliminates the need for point-by-point ablation around the pulmonary vein.
