Electroanatomic study of the left atrial insertion of an epicardial accessory pathway integrating the coronary sinus.

Endocardial electro-anatomic reconstruction of the left atrium and activation mapping defined a very large atrial accessory pathway insertion with a previously failed ablation attempt. Radiofrequency application inside the coronary sinus (CS), at a site with a sharp electrogram bridging atrial and ventricular electrograms abolished pathway conduction. The myocardium in the venous branches of the CS appeared to be responsible for this extraordinary atrial insertion area.
