A 19 year old patient with incessant supraventricular tachycardia was submitted to electrophysiologic study. An ectopic left atrial focus was demonstrated. Intraoperative mapping localized the focus to the upper left atrial quadrant. Successful surgical isolation of the focus was possible. The patient is currently asymptomatic and arrhythmia free.
