| Abstract: | A 59-year-old female with structurally normal heart was admitted to our hospital for treatment of highly symptomatic, drug refractory atrial premature beats (APB). ECG revealed atrial parasystolic trigeminy. The arrhythmogenic focus was mapped and ablated using magnetic remote navigation and 3D electroanatomical mapping system. To our knowledge, this is the first report on successful ablation of frequent APBs in the non-coronary aortic cusp. |
