Background: Conventional endocardial mapping cannot fully elucidate Marshall bundle (MB)-related atrial tachycardia (AT).
Objectives: This study aimed to clarify the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of MB-related AT definitively diagnosed using catheter insertion.
Methods: Forty-eight patients with AT who had previously undergone mitral isthmus ablation were enrolled in this study.

Background: In medical practice, atrial fibrillation (AF) is intricately associated with heart failure (HF). Currently, ethanol infusion of vein of Marshall (EIVOM) for AF ablation in HF patients remains significantly limited.
Method: This was a non-randomized, single-center, retrospective observational study.

Background: Ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (EIVoM) may increase mitral isthmus bidirectional block (MIBB) and cause local autonomic denervation that may improve outcome.
Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to investigate whether the addition of EIVoM to atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation led to a better outcome.
Methods: Systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Europe PMC for studies that compared the addition of EIVoM during AF ablation with radiofrequency ablation.

Electroanatomic mapping guides complex atrial tachycardia ablations; however, challenges may emerge after pulmonary vein isolation. 3D mapping systems can reveal the mechanism of tachycardia and critical areas that need to be ablated. Sometimes, however, these areas may be located deep inside, to the extent that they cannot be successfully reached by endocardial ablation.

The authors present the case of a 29-year-old male with recurrent AT successfully treated with a combined ethanol and radiofrequency ablation approach. This case highlights the effectiveness of this dual ablation strategy in resolving AT originating from the MB, contributing valuable insights into managing complex AT cases.
