Fig 1 (A) Endocardial activation map of the right atrium in the anteroposterior view. The orange tag indicates the atrial insertion site during right ventricular pacing. (B) Endocardial activation map of the right ventricle in the anteroposterior view. The pink tag indicates the ventricular insertion site during sinus rhythm. (C) Combined anatomic image of the right atrium and ventricle. The green tag indicates the successful epicardial ablation site. (RAA = right atrial appendage; RVOT = right ventricular outflow tract; TA = tricuspid annulus.)
