Abstract:
Objective To report the experience of using R 0 Swartz sheath in patients with tortuous and prolonged aorta. Methods The radiofrequency ablation procedure could not be done in 4 patients (3 patients with left side accessory pathway, and 1 with idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia) because the ablation catheter could not be put in left ventricle due to tortuous and prolonged aorta. We tried to use R 0 Swartz sheath in these patients in order to put the catheter into left ventricle via small curve of the R 0 Swartz.Results The ablation procedures were successful in these 4 patients by using R 0 Swartz.Conclusion Using R 0 Swartz sheath in patients with tortuous and prolonged aorta is helpful in making the left side ablation procedure successful.
