Implication

May support ablation for SVC-origin focal AT; leaves open confirmation of safety and efficacy in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

Does radiofrequency ablation eliminate focal atrial tachycardia originating from the superior vena cava?

Population

3 patients (2 females, 1 male; aged 57, 66 and 50 years) with focal atrial tachycardia (AT) arising from different parts of the superior vena cava (SVC), associated with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.

Intervention

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation targeting the SVC focus guided by the presumed SVC potential.

Outcome

Elimination of focal AT and recurrence of symptomatic palpitation.

Radiofrequency ablation guided by SVC potentials is a safe and effective treatment for focal atrial tachycardia originating from the superior vena cava.
