Transcatheter patent foramen ovale closure and radiofrequency ablation of right atrial tachycardia

Acta Clin Croat. 2014 Dec;53(4):490-3.

Abstract

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) can be found in approximately 25% of adult population. Transcatheter closure of PFO is a potential option in selected patients with PFO. We report a case of a female patient that underwent mapping and catheter ablation of atrial tachycardia and PFO closure in the same procedure.
