Pulmonary veins (PVs) ablation is a valid treatment option for atrial fibrillation. The standard approach for PVs isolation usually requires two catheters or an electroanatomical reconstruction of the left atrium. We describe our initial experience with a single device for mapping and ablating in a patient referred to our center for the relapsing of atrial fibrillation 3 years after a previous ablation procedure. The newly available catheter MESH was safe and effective to quickly isolate two reconnected PVs.
