Abstract

This is the first report describing atrioventricular junction ablation during sinus rhythm in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava. Electroanatomic mapping systems and awareness of anatomic and electrogram variations may decrease procedure time, decrease fluoroscopy time, and minimize delivery of ineffective ablation lesions.

Keywords: atrial fibrillation; atrioventricular junction; catheter ablation; electroanatomic mapping; persistent left superior vena cava.
