Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Left atrial tachycardias are often seen following catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). We report here an unusual case where AF was converted to sinus rhythm following catheter ablation, but ongoing atrial tachycardia confined within the left atrial appendage (LAA) was observed. Although the LAA tachycardia was dissociated from the atrium in sinus rhythm, bidirectional conduction between the left atrium and the LAA was, however, demonstrated after tachycardia termination. |
