Abstract

We report a case of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia coexistent with atresia of the coronary sinus ostium. Radiofrequency current application between the supposed coronary sinus ostium and the tricuspid valve was effective at eliminating the tachycardia. A coronary venogram obtained by left coronary arteriography was useful for guiding the mapping catheter to the successful ablation site.
