ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Recent reports highlighted the role of epicardial connections in the development of biatrial tachycardia circuits. METHODS: We reported a case of 60-year-old female patient who was admitted with recurrent atrial tachycardia (AT) after endocardial pulmonary vein isolation and anterior mitral line formation. RESULTS: Epicardial activation map demonstrated fragmented continuous potentials at the Bachmann's bundle region with good entrainment response. Epicardial radiofrequency ablation terminated AT with complete block in the anterior mitral line. CONCLUSIONS: This case corroborates the data relevant to the role of interatrial connections-specifically Bachmann's bundle-in biatrial macroreentrant ATs and demonstrates that epicardial mapping is an effective method to identify the entire reentrant circuit.
