Key result
RF catheter ablation from the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva completely eliminated atrial tachycardia originating near the atrioventricular node in 1 patient.
Case Report (n=1)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation from the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva can successfully eliminate atrial tachycardia originating near the atrioventricular node.

May offer alternative access for perinodal atrial tachycardia ablation; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before broader adoption.
This report describes a patient who underwent RF catheter ablation of atrial tachycardia. Two applications of RF energy near the His-bundle region transiently terminated the tachycardia. With detailed mapping at the aortic sinus of Valsalva using a retrograde transaortic approach, the earliest atrial activation was found in the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva. Complete elimination of the tachycardia was achieved with RF energy application from this site.
