Does multisite electroanatomic mapping facilitate successful ablation of intra-atrial reentry in a patient following a Mustard procedure?
Multisite electroanatomic mapping can facilitate successful ablation of intra-atrial reentry in patients with complex anatomy following a Mustard procedure.

Multisite mapping may aid IART ablation post-Mustard; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before wider use.
Ablation of intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia following Mustard or Senning procedures has low success rates. The Biosense Carto system was used to map intra-atrial reentry in a 22-year-old woman who had undergone a Mustard procedure. A line of block was created connecting a Mustard baffle suture line to the tricuspid valve annulus, which terminated the arrhythmia and prevented its reinitiation. Multisite electroanatomic mapping was invaluable in defining atrial anatomy and the intra-atrial reentrant pathway, and in creating a contiguous line of block. This mapping may improve ablation success rates in patients following the Mustard or Senning repair.

Sokoloski et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia following Mustard procedure (n=1). Multisite electroanatomic mapping (Biosense Carto system) guided ablation was evaluated on Termination of arrhythmia and prevention of reinitiation. Multisite electroanatomic mapping successfully guided the creation of a line of block to terminate intra-atrial reentry and prevent its reinitiation in a patient following a Mustard procedure.
