Atrial arrhythmia ablation in adult congenital heart disease with a persistent left-side superior vena cava

Abstract

We herein report a case of atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the dilated coronary sinus (CS) connected to a persistent left superior vena cava. The earliest activation site of AT was localized at the superior CS ostium, identified using a novel ultra-rapid high-density mapping system (Rhythmia™). Successful ablation was performed at the corresponding position. This report demonstrated the utility of an ultra-rapid high-density mapping system in identifying arrhythmogenic foci in adult cases of congenital heart disease.
