A detailed analysis of the ventricular activation along the posterior aspect of the mitral annulus was made using a multipolar catheter positioned in the coronary sinus in a patient with mitral isthmus ventricular tachycardia (VT) associated with a remote inferior myocardial infarction and prior cryosurgical ablation for the elimination of a different preexisting VT. A change in the timing and sequence of the ventricular activation along the isthmus could be observed during induction of the VT and entrainment pacing. A radiofrequency (RF) current application directed at the posterolateral region of the isthmus successfully eliminated this tachycardia. During the RF delivery, complete conduction block was confirmed by a sudden change in the activation sequence during sinus rhythm.
