Reentrant atrial tachycardia after catheter ablation of coronary sinus accessory pathway
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is the standard treatment for atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) caused by accessory pathways. This case highlights that patients with AVRT who have undergone extensive RF applications may develop recurrent reentrant atrial tachycardia. Operators need to be aware that extensive RF applications can generate arrhythmogenic substrates, even in patients with AVRT.
