A 60-year-old male patient suffered from frequent episodes of atrial tachycardia (AT), after the index procedure of catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. During the repeat procedure, the activation map showed that the earliest activation site was located at the roof of left atrium. Multiple ablations at the earliest activation site on the roof failed to terminate the AT; however, ablation within the pulmonary artery at an adjacent anatomical site successfully eliminated the AT, even without recording distinct near-field potential.
