1 Atrial Incision Affects the Incidence of Atrial Tachycardia After Mitral Valve Surgery 
Peter Lukac, MD, Vibeke E. Hjortdal, MD, PhD, Anders K. Pedersen, MD, DMSc, Peter T. Mortensen, MD, Henrik K. Jensen, MD, PhD, Peter S. Hansen, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 81, Issue 2, Pages (February 2006) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2006 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 The superior transseptal approach. Incisions in the free wall of the right atrium (RA) and in the interatrial septum (IAS) are connected and prolonged to the superior portion of the left atrium (LA). (IVC = inferior vena cava; SVC = superior vena cava; PV = pulmonary vein.)

3 Fig 2 An example of atrial tachycardia. The regularity of the atrial rhythm is best appreciated in lead V1, where regular monomorphic negative P waves (their beginning is marked with the calipers), separated by a slightly descending plateau, can be appreciated. The cycle length is 220 ms. In this case, the differential diagnosis against atrial fibrillation might be difficult, if the ventricular rate was not regular. However, ventricular activation may not always be regular during atrial tachycardia.
