Key result
Comprehensive activated mapping guided by real-time intracardiac echocardiography combined with CT or CMR is crucial for successful atrial tachycardia ablation in patients with ccTGA.
Why the study?
Atrial tachycardia in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is relatively rare and difficult to ablate due to reversed anatomical locations.
Case Report (n=1)
In patients with ccTGA, real-time intracardiac echocardiography combined with CT or CMR is highly useful to guide activation mapping and radiofrequency ablation of atrial tachycardia.
May aid AT ablation in ccTGA; leaves open prospective validation in larger cohorts.
Key Teaching Points•Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare congenital heart disease, and computed tomography (CT) or cardiac magnetic resonance image is very useful to construct the true anatomical position relationship in patients.•Atrial tachycardia (AT) in patients with ccTGA is relatively rare, and its ablation is difficult because of the reversed anatomical locations. It is very important with comprehensive activated mapping in the entire left and right atria and the adjacent structure (such as the pulmonic outflow tract) to find the earliest activation site for AT.•Real-time intracardiac echocardiography images combined with CT or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is very useful to guide the activated mapping during radiofrequency ablation. •Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare congenital heart disease, and computed tomography (CT) or cardiac magnetic resonance image is very useful to construct the true anatomical position relationship in patients.•Atrial tachycardia (AT) in patients with ccTGA is relatively rare, and its ablation is difficult because of the reversed anatomical locations.

Kong et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and atrial tachycardia (n=1). Atrial tachycardia ablation was evaluated. Comprehensive activated mapping guided by real-time intracardiac echocardiography combined with CT or CMR is crucial for successful atrial tachycardia ablation in patients with ccTGA.
