Atrial tachycardia originating from a right atrial free wall diverticulum: case report
This case expands the understanding of AT origins, highlighting the right atrial free wall diverticulum as a potential, though rare, source of tachycardia. The case emphasizes the importance of comprehensive electrophysiological mapping, especially in atypical presentations of AT. Successful ablation in this instance underscores the potential for targeted interventions even in uncommon anatomical sites. Further studies are needed to assess the prevalence and clinical significance of AT arising from such rare locations.
