ABSTRACT
A 39-year old woman with a symptomatic, idiopathic left ventricular extra beats has been scheduled for a redo ablation. During procedure the arrhythmia appeared to be very infrequent (1 extra beat/min), making it practically “unmappable” for the conventional mapping systems. An ultra-fast, high density 3D mapping system (Rhythmia, Boston Scientific, Cambridge, MA, USA) with a 64-electrode basket mapping catheter (Intelamap Orion) was used to successfully tackle the arrhythmia.
