Key result
3D-guided RFA successfully terminates a rare focal atrial tachycardia from the left atrial posterior wall.
Why the study?
Focal atrial tachycardias originating from the posterior wall of the left atrium are extremely rare.
Case Report (n=1)
Electroanatomic mapping enables accurate localization and successful ablation of rare focal atrial tachycardias originating from the left atrial posterior wall.

Hypothesis-generating for rare left atrial focal tachycardias; prospective studies needed before broader adoption.
Aksan et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Left atrial posterior wall tachycardia (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by 3D electroanatomic mapping was evaluated on Termination of tachycardia. Radiofrequency ablation (30-watt) guided by 3D electroanatomic mapping successfully terminated a rare focal atrial tachycardia (cycle length 405 ms) from the left atrial posterior wall.
