Complex Anatomy Can Still Produce Simple Reentrant Substrates (Presenter: Michael R. Epstein, MD, CCDS, CEPS-P)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discussed the occurrence of simple reentrant substrates in the setting of complex anatomy. They focused on two specific arrhythmias: avenodal reentry tachycardia and cavotrichospinous misdependent intraatrial reentry tachycardia. They explained the techniques for treating these arrhythmias with slow pathway modification and ablation. The speaker also discussed the impact of surgical procedures, such as the arterial switch operation and the atrial switch procedure, on the anatomical structures involved in these arrhythmias. They highlighted the need for careful pre-procedure preparation and the use of mapping systems, such as CARTO or Nevex, for successful ablation.
