At admission, atrial tachycardia (AT) was observed. Activation map showed focal atrial tachycardia originating from the posterior wall of the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) antrum. We performed hot balloon ablation at the LSPV antrum, terminated AT, and performed pulmonary vein isolation with a hot balloon. The hot balloon was successfully applied for the ablation of the focal atrial tachycardia from the pulmonary vein. © 2020 The Authors.

Bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is effective for refractory arrhythmias; little is known about bipolar RFCA from the coronary venous system and the appropriate settings. We experienced three cases of ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) originating from the LV summit successfully treated by bipolar RFCA between the LV endocardium (irrigated catheters as active electrodes) and coronary venous system (8-mm-tip catheters as return electrodes). These cases showed that bipolar RFCA was effective for the VPCs originating from the LV summit; 8-mm-tip catheters were useful as return electrodes. © 2020 The Authors.

We aimed to explore their potential association with clinical outcomes in patients with single/dual-chamber ICD and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D).
