Circulation 1993, 88:578-587. Seven patients with 10 foci of AT were studied. Intra-atrial reentry was confirmed by pacing techniques, and all foci were successfully ablated with RF current.

Circulation 1994, 90:1262-1278. Thirty-six patients with AT underwent detailed testing to determine the underlying mechanism of tachycardia; intra-atrial re-entry was more common than abnormal automaticity or triggered activity. Thirty-two of 34 attempted RF ablation procedures were successful.

Mapping of AFL was performed in 13 patients.
