A 62-year-old man with a history of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia (AT) received a line of block of the mitral isthmus (MI) and electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA). Upon entrainment pacing, AT recurred and was diagnosed as peri-mitral AT (PMAT) with electrical irrelevance of MI, LAA, and left pulmonary vein, having a critical isthmus identified as Marshall bundle (MB). MB was then infused with ethanol, leading to the successful treatment of the PMAT.
