Automatic atrial tachycardia (AAT) is often refractory to medical management. While surgical ablation and isolation procedures such as atrioventricular node ablation have been useful in the management of AAT, important limitations remain. Reported experience with catheter ablation of AAT is limited. This report describes the successful application of transvenous radiofrequency catheter ablation in an adult with AAT. Potential limitations of catheter ablation in the management of AAT are discussed.
