Hisian Ectopy Cryoablation Using New Diagnostic Criteria . We describe the case of a 61‐year‐old woman who underwent successful catheter cryoablation of a symptomatic Hisian ectopy. Diagnosis was based on features of the HV interval assessed from a bipolar recording during mapping. The location of the arrhythmic focus was identified using simultaneous unipolar and bipolar recordings of the His electrogram. This case report highlights the use of 2 new criteria for the diagnosis and mapping of Hisian ectopy, and the successful use of cryothermia for the ablation of extrasystoles arising from the His bundle.
