We report on our experience with complete mitral isthmus conduction block achieved inadvertently during radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation for a left lateral concealed accessory pathway (AP) mimicking concentric retrograde activation. This rare condition should be acknowledged to avoid misdiagnosis of another concomitant AP and to avoid RF applications in inappropriate areas.

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: A novel focal lattice-tip catheter allowing the delivery of either pulsed field (PF) or radiofrequency (RF) energy has recently received regulatory approval. The technology features a proprietary 3-dimensional electroanatomic mapping system.
Objective: We describe the first real-world and multicenter experience.

A 77-year-old man had severe aortic stenosis and continuous atrial fibrillation. We performed maze procedure without left atrial incision( Dallas lesion set) during aortic valve replacement for this patient. Dallas lesion set alternates the isolation of mitral isthmus by connecting ablation line beneath left coronary cusp and noncoronary cusp commissure of the aortic valve with ablation from epicardial side of the upper left atrium.

This retrospective study evaluated two groups: patients receiving RFA for PVI, posterior wall isolation, mitral isthmus, and coronary sinus (CS) ablation with adjunctive VOM ethanol injection (VOM/RFA ALL (N = 53)), and patients receiving PVI with PFA using pentaspline catheter followed by mitral isthmus and CS ablation with RFA (PFA PV + PW/RFA MITRAL (N = 12)). We hypothesized that PFA for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) facilitates mitral block without adjunctive vein of Marshall (VOM) ethanol injection. Mitral block was achieved in 92.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores a new lattice tip ablation catheter capable of using both radiofrequency and pulsed-field energy for performing pulmonary vein isolation and linear lesions, focusing on safety and effectiveness without general anesthesia (GA).
- - Researchers collected data from 55 patients who had atrial fibrillation ablation, comparing those under GA to those under deep sedation; results showed high success rates for creating linear lesions, with minimal complications (1.8%).
- - Findings suggest that linear ablation using the lattice tip catheter is feasible and safe under deep sedation, indicating a low need for switching energy sources during the procedure.
