Радиочастотная аблация атипичного левопредсердного трепетания после изоляции устьев легочных вен

In paroxysmal atrial fibrillation usually pulmonary veins isolation is enough, while in persistent and long-standing persistent forms ablation lines in the left atrium are needed. After that post ablational macroreentry tachycardia and focal atrial tachycardia, resistant to antiarrhythmic therapy, occur. Left atrial macroreentry tachycardia are localized perimitrally, around pulmonary veins and septally. There are also roof and posterior wall-associated macroreentry tachycardia. Considering relevance of postablation arrhythmias, we present our case report. A patient had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein isolation was performed. After patient’s radiofrequency pulmonary vein isolation, three-dimensional map of left atrium was made using CARTO XP navigation system. Macroreentry tachycardia around left inferior pulmonary vein was revealed.There were fragmented potentials between left superior and left inferior pulmonary veins. An ablation lineconnecting inferior and superior pulmonary veins was made. After the completion of ablation line sinus rhythmwas restored.
