DOI: 10.1002/clc.23947
Abstract: Damage to the sinus node (SN) has been described as a potential complication of superior vena cava (SVC) isolation. There have been reports of permanent SN injury requiring pacemaker implantation during isolation of the SVC. read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12494
Abstract: Pulmonary vein (PV) antrum isolation (PVAI) has proven to be a useful strategy for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) worldwide. However, non‐PV foci, especially from the superior vena cava (SVC), play an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12740
Abstract: Usually, superior vena cava (SVC) entrance block is confirmed when SVC potentials disappear during sinus rhythm. We present a case of pseudo SVC entrance block during sinus rhythm, which was uncovered by continuous atrial pacing. read more here.

Arrhythmogenic superior vena cava manifesting after a right‐sided pneumonectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12804
Abstract: No case of AF ablation after right‐sided pneumonectomy has been reported, presumably because the pneumonectomy renders the ablation procedure more difficult than lobectomy because of the marked mediastinal displacement. In the case of catheter ablation… read more here.
