Ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus flutter and atrial tachycardia in a complex substrate has never been reported using remote navigation via superior approach.Venous read more access was obtained via right internal jugular for ablation and left subclavian for duodecapolar catheter placement into the coronary sinus.In a posttransplant patient presenting with both regular and irregular tachycardia, both cavotricuspid isthmus flutter in the donor and atrial tachycardia in the recipient was mapped using a two catheter approach.Successful ablation of typical atrial flutter 1073spx and anastomotic block was achieved.

This is the first report of successful ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus flutter and posttransplant atrial tachycardia using magnetic navigation via superior approach.Using only two catheters, this approach is logical and feasible in complex substrates with interrupted inferior venous access.
