Mapping and ablation of a perisinusal atrial tachycardia with noncontact mapping

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2013 Jan;36(1):e11-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.2011.03271.x. Epub 2011 Nov 29.

Abstract

Perisinusal atrial tachycardia may represent a challenging situation due to unsustained burst characterizing the arrhythmia, sensitivity to bumping, and potential complications including sinus node ablation. This case describes the use of a noncontact mapping system to map and ablates this arrhythmia. Benefit of this technology is described.
