Atrial tachycardia from an unusual site—Left atrial appendage tachycardia: Challenges in ablation

Left atrial appendage (LAA) tachycardia are rarely encountered in clinical practice (2.1% of focal atrial tachycardia). Out of these, the ones arising from the distal part of LAA are difficult to ablate due to higher risk of LAA perforation and thromboembolism. We hereby present a patient with LAA t...
