Atrial tachycardia originating from the right atrial appendage has a higher probability of failure of catheter ablation. Here we report a case of a 13-year-old boy with incessant tachycardia, complicated by heart enlargement, and heart failure. Electrophysiological examination showed that atrial tachycardia (AT) originated from the apex of the right atrial appendage, and endocardial catheter ablation was ineffective. After thoracoscopic approach, the right atrial appendage was successfully ablated with bipolar radiofrequency ablation forceps, atrial tachycardia was terminated and sinus rhythm was restored. Within 3 months since the patient was discharged from the hospital, no arrhythmia occurred and the heart structure returned to normal. Thus, thoracoscopic clamp radiofrequency ablation may be a reasonable choice for young patients with atrial tachycardia originated from the right atrial appendage when transendocardial ablation is not effective.

Coherent mapping with CARTO3 is useful to identify the critical isthmus of scar-related AT. However, it has also a pitfall. We present atrial tachycardia (AT) with pseudo micro-reentrant activation pattern created by coherent mapping on the right atrial free wall. It is possible that a pseudo tachycardia circuit was created due to the algorithm for the reconstruction of coherent mapping. Finally, entrainment mapping led to the identification of correct tachycardia circuit and termination of tachycardia by catheter ablation. When using coherent mapping with CARTO3, it is necessary to understand the pitfall well.
