Arrhythmogenic left atrial roof vein

A seventy year-old male was referred to our hospital to undergo radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Pre-operative three-dimensional computed tomography revealed a unique left atrial (LA) roof vein. Electrophysiological findings showed expa...
