- Abstract
We report the case of a 71-year-old man with two atrial tachycardias evolving simultaneously and independently in two dissociated regions after extensive ablation for chronic atrial fibrillation. One tachycardia was a focal tachycardia originating from the right inferior pulmonary vein and activating the posterior left atrium with a 2:1 conduction block, while the other tachycardia was an atrial flutter circulating around the tricuspid annulus, activating the right atrium and the anterior wall of the left atrium. These two atrial tachycardias were successfully ablated prior to restoration of sinus rhythm.
