Ablation of Right‐Sided Accessory Pathways With Atrial Insertion Far From the Tricuspid Annulus Using an Electroanatomical Mapping System

Ablating Right‐Sided Accessory Pathways With Atrial Insertions Far From Tricuspid Annulus. Background: It is difficult to ablate a right‐sided accessory pathway (AP) with atrial insertion far from the tricuspid annulus (TA). We report our initial experience of ablating this rare AP by a 3‐dimensional electroanatomical mapping system (CARTO).
