Late intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia would be prevented by ablation of right atrial potential isthmuses during the surgical operation for congenital heart disease

Intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia （IART） is not uncommon after surgical correction of congenital heart disease （CHD）. The patients with IART are often refractory to antiarrhymic agents and present with severe symptoms. Current treatment approach to IART has shifted largely to interventional procedures which have a good short-term success rate, however, late recurrence rate is still high. With the development of mapping technique especially the application of three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping,
