Key result
Intracardiac mapping and targeted ablation cure post-ablation left atrial tachycardias affecting ~30% of patients.
Why the study?
Post-procedure left atrial tachycardias and flutters occur in up to 30% of patients after AF ablation, complicating long-term arrhythmia control and requiring precise characterization.
Intracardiac mapping is essential for characterizing and successfully ablating left atrial tachyarrhythmias that occur in up to 30% of patients following atrial fibrillation ablation.

Supports targeted ablation of post-AF left atrial tachycardias after mapping; leaves open prospective trials on optimal strategies and durability.
Sanjay Dixit (2008) conducted a review in Left atrial tachyarrhythmias following atrial fibrillation ablation. Intracardiac mapping and catheter ablation was evaluated. Post-ablation left atrial tachycardias, occurring in up to 30% of patients, can be successfully characterized by intracardiac mapping and cured with targeted ablation strategies.
