Abstract

A 61-year-old man with highly symptomatic palpitations presented 13 months after undergoing pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. A 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed atrial tachycardia, and the patient was scheduled for mapping, which revealed two regions of reconnection along the posterior part of the region of the left inferior pulmonary vein.

Keywords: Ablation; HD Grid; atrial fibrillation; mapping.
