Background:
A 61-year-old male with Steinert Dystrophy and prior history of cardiac implantable device complained of highly symptomatic right atrial tachycardia. Unresponsive to pharmacological therapy.
Methods:
The patient underwent catheter ablation procedure aided by high-density mapping.
Results:
Ablation procedure was succesful.
Conclusions:
This unique case report highlights the role of high-density mapping in the identification of critical isthmus and management of macro-reentrant tachycardia in complex situations such as the presence of multiple leads in the chamber.
