Mapping and ablation of perimitral flutter, a macro-reentrant tachycardia, can be sometimes challenging. We describe a case of perimitral atrial flutter following the pulmonary vein isolation in which mitral isthmus ablation failed to terminate the arrhythmia due to epicardial-endocardial breakthrough via the muscle fibers of coronary sinus. Ultra-high-definition mapping system was utilized to locate the epicardial bridge, and spot ablation of the lesion subsequently terminated the arrhythmia.
