Effect of catheter ablation with vein of Marshall ethanol infusion for perimitral flutter in a patient with senile transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: a case report
Diffuse and severe left atrial fibrosis related to amyloid protein infiltration within the LA is generally associated with worse catheter ablation outcomes in cardiac AL patients. This case demonstrated that the VOM ethanol infusion was critical to the success of the catheter ablation procedure, resulting in a better long-term outcome.
