An Uncommon Focus of a Common Phenomenon: Superior Vena Cava Triggering Atrial Fibrillation

Ablation of atrial fibrillation most commonly involves the pulmonary veins; however, the superior vena cava (SVC) is an important potentially arrhythmogenic structure that should not be overlooked. This case report demonstrates an excellent example of triggering activity localized to the SVC and the...

description Ablation of atrial fibrillation most commonly involves the pulmonary veins; however, the superior vena cava (SVC) is an important potentially arrhythmogenic structure that should not be overlooked. This case report demonstrates an excellent example of triggering activity localized to the SVC and the subsequent conversion to sinus rhythm with ablation of the SVC.
