Abstract

We present a case of recurrent highly symptomatic atrial tachycardia. During electrophysiology (EP) study, this was found to arise close to the AV node. To avoid conduction system damage by radiofrequency (RF) ablation, the aortic cusps were mapped. The tachycardia focus was close to the non-coronary cusp and ablated safely and successfully from this site.
