(FIT)-Module 2 Workshop 3: SVT Mechanisms and Maneuvers-Stevenson Case 1 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. William Stevenson from Vanderbilt University Medical Center discusses supraventricular tachycardia mechanisms and maneuvers. In a case study, a 28-year-old female with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome undergoes catheter ablation to treat recurrent supraventricular tachycardia. During the procedure, an ablation is performed using a 4-millimeter electrode set at 60 degrees centigrade with a power maximum of 30 watts. The audience is prompted to determine the best next step: increase power, stop RF application and reassess catheter position, continue RF at 30 watts for 60 seconds, or continue RF and start atrial pacing.
