A right atrial separation procedure was performed for the ablation of chronic atrial fibrillation in four cases, concomitant with the repair of the atrial septal defect. After the operation, chronic atrial fibrillation disappeared in three of them and left atrial tachycardia occurred in the other one. Left atrial tachycardia is an arrythmia encountered after a right atrial separation procedure.
