摘要:

Catheter ablation of ectopic atrial tachycardia has been previously reported in a small number of patients in whom the ectopic focus was predominantly located in the right atrium. We report on a 51‐year‐old patient with atrial automatic tachycardia originating in the left atrium, in whom successful radiofrequency catheter ablation was pet formed via a transseptal puncture. The patient had suffered incessant atrial tachycardia for several years, refractory to antiarrhythmic drug treatment and DC‐cardioversion. Radiofrequency ablation terminated left ectopic atrial tachycardia and, therefore, should have been attempted before resorting to open heart surgical abl

摘要:

In Chile the first experiences with cardiac catheterization began very shortly after Forssmann's first studies. Percutaneous coronary balloon angioplasty (PTCA) was first performed in 1982. Despite a progressively great interest and training of physicians in invasive cardiology there are still restrictions in its development. Most private institutions have modern facilities but their caseloads, ever increasing, are still limited because they take care of only 35% of the population. Public institutions are limited because of funding, and some are just developing PTCA. The situation has improved recently because of deals between the private and public systems. Experience with newer devices is even more limited.

摘要:

Death rates from coronary heart disease in New Zealand are among the highest in the world although they have steadily fallen since a peak in 1968. The health care system is largely publicly funded with most cardiologists being salaried, although there has been a growth in fee‐for‐service private practice. Waiting times in public hospitals for bypass surgery can be years for chronic stable angina. The publicly funded health care system is being reformed. In 1993 there were in New Zealand, for a population of just less than 3.5 million: 6,227 coronary angiograms; 1,365 percutaneous interventions; and 1,513 coronary artery bypass only operations. The percutaneous intervention rate was 391 per million. There has been an increase in new device use so that in Auckland 11% of percutaneous interventions involved new devi
