Identification of a conduction gap of the mitral isthmus by using a novel high-density mapping catheter

Peri-mitral atrial flutter, which is a type of macroreentrant atrial tachycardia circulating around the mitral annulus, was terminated with the guidance of the high-density mapping catheter. A 72-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia presented with symptoms of congestive heart failure. The recurrent peri-mitral atrial flutter following the initial catheter ablation for atrial tachycardia and atrial fibrillation was terminated by radiofrequency application on the gap that was identified using a novel high-density mapping catheter.
