Introduction: The aim of this study was to develop bidirectional block of intra-atrial reentrant tachycardias (IARTs) late after the repair of congenital heart disease (CHD) using pace-map and entrainment mapping.
Methods and results: There were 106 patients enrolled in this study. These patients were divided into two groups as giant right atrium (RA) group and non-giant RA group based on their RA volume measured by Carto. All patients have performed activation and entrainment mapping among these patients, 24 (22.6%) of Giant RA group had dual-loop reentry and 82 patients had single loop reentry. 94 patients (88.7%) found out the gaps by pace-map in SR. Linear ablation was successful in 105 patients (99%). During a mean follow-up period of 105 ± 34 months the success rate of IARTs was 66%, there were significantly different in these two ..
