Successful hot balloon ablation for focal atrial tachycardia derived from the left superior pulmonary vein antrum

A 45‐year‐old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) was admitted to our hospital for hot balloon ablation. At admission, atrial tachycardia (AT) was observed. Activation map showed focal atrial tachycardia originating from the posterior wall of the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) antrum....

Sumario:A 45‐year‐old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) was admitted to our hospital for hot balloon ablation. At admission, atrial tachycardia (AT) was observed. Activation map showed focal atrial tachycardia originating from the posterior wall of the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) antrum. We performed hot balloon ablation at the LSPV antrum, terminated AT, and performed pulmonary vein isolation with a hot balloon. The hot balloon was successfully applied for the ablation of the focal atrial tachycardia from the pulmonary vein.
