Abstract
A 57-year-old male with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) was referred for catheter ablation. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) revealed that a membrane divided the left atrium into two chambers, thus indicating the presence of cor triatriatum sinister. A 3D image reconstructed by MDCT showed that the accessory atrium received the left common and the right side PVs, as if it were a total common trunk, and this then flowed into the main atrium. After isolation of the pulmonary vein and posterior wall from the left atrium, AF could not be induced by any programmed pacing. The patient has remained free from AF during the 1 year of follow-up.Entities:
