Catheter ablation of left atrial focal tachycardia guided by electroanatomic mapping and new insights into interatrial electrical conduction

The PVs and the mitral annulus were the main sources of LA focal tachycardias. The majority of PV tachycardias originated from PV ostia. A posterior interatrial connection appeared to play a major role in interatrial electrical propagation during PV tachycardias. Electroanatomic mapping facilitated precise localization of LA focal tachycardias and achievement of a high rate of ablation success.
