abstract：:A 64-year-old man with atrial tachycardia (AT) 3 years after a superior vena cava (SVC) isolation for atrial fibrillation underwent electrophysiologic testing. SVC mapping with a basket catheter revealed a more frequent activation in the SVC than in either of the atria during the AT and consequently the recovered cond...
