Mitral isthmus ablation: the importance of epicardial connections between the coronary sinus and Marshall bundle.
The ligament of Marshall is an epicardial vestigial fold that contains the vein of Marshall and a myocardial sleeve called the Marshall bundle (MB). If the MB epicardial connections bypassing endocardial mitral isthmus (MI) are present, it should be blocked to achieve a complete MI block. We report the first case to create the MB conduction block by disconnecting the coronary sinus–MB connections.

A 66-year-old man underwent electrophysiological study and catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. At the beginning of the procedure, sinus rhythm was restored by internal cardioversion. Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation was performed, and the electric isolation of all 4 pulmonary veins was confirmed. Subsequently, linear ablation of a left atrial roof and the mitral isthmu...

A 41-year-old man experienced atrial tachycardia (AT) after multiple ablative procedures for atrial fibrillation. Electroanatomical mapping revealed the apparent impulse propagation through the scar at the mitral isthmus. An electrode in the vein of Marshall (VOM) showed the VOM was on the circuit of AT. Radiofrequency energy application at the connection between the VOM and left atrium termina...

A 60-year-old man with obesity and severe left ventricular dysfunction and left atrial dilatation underwent catheter ablation of symptomatic, drug-refractory, persistent atrial fibrillation. After pulmonary vein isolation and electrogrambased ablation, atrial fibrillation was cardioverted successfully. Mitral isthmus ablation was undertaken during distal coronary sinus (CS) 1 to 2 pacing. CS bl...

A 31-year-old man with prior step-wise ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation presented with atrial tachycardia (AT). Linear lines for the mitral isthmus, left atrial roof, and the cavo-tricuspid isthmus had previously been performed in addition to pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and defragmentation on the left atrium. The patient was in sinus rhythm (SR) at the beginning of the procedure, s...
