Background: The ability to identify and ablate different arrhythmia mechanisms after the total cavopulmonary connection has not been studied in detail.

Methods And Results: After obtaining Institutional Review Board approval according to institutional guidelines, consecutive patients after a total cavopulmonary connection undergoing electrophysiology study over a 6-year period were included (2006-2012). Arrhythmia mechanism was determined, and the procedural outcome was defined as complete, partial success, or failure.

Background: Targets for catheter ablation of atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT) in post-Mustard procedure patients are often located in the pulmonary venous atrium (PVA). Traditional access to this chamber is retrograde via the aorta. However trans-baffle puncture may be a key determinant of successful ablation in many cases.
