Successful catheter ablation of atrial tachycardia originating from the non-coronary aortic sinus

Yonsei Med J. 2008 Dec 31;49(6):1041-5. doi: 10.3349/ymj.2008.49.6.1041.

Abstract

We report a rare case of atrial tachycardia originating from the non-coronary aortic sinus. After failed radiofrequency (RF) energy applications at right His-bundle region, the complete elimination of atrial tachycardia was achieved with an RF energy application in the non-coronary aortic sinus. With the review of other papers, this report emphasizes the importance of mapping in the non-coronary aortic sinus in focal atrial tachycardia near the atrioventricular node or near the His-bundle.
