One operative approach to the mitral valve, the superior transseptal incision, is proarrhythmic because of extensive atriotomies. The objective of this study is to describe complex atrial tachycardias (ATs) that occur after this approach and propose methods to verify lines of block as an end point for catheter ablation.
