Excerpt

The catheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) might be very challenging in the setting of specific anatomies. Specifically, the persistence of the left superior vena cava (PLSVC), the most common venous anomaly in the population [1‐4], can result in the enlargement of the coronary sinus (CS) and dislocation of common target sites [1]. …
