CASE REPORT

Spontaneous and induced pulmonary vein tachycardia after pulmonary vein isolation

Pepijn H. van der Voort* and Albert Meijer

Catharina Hospital Eindhoven, The Netherlands

A case is reported of recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein ablation. A second procedure achieved isolation of three pulmonary veins and showed persistence of pulmonary vein tachycardia in one with implications concerning the electrophysiology of atrial fibrillation.

Key Words: pulmonary vein tachycardia, pulmonary vein isolation, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, radiofrequency ablation
