Figure 2: Intracardiac electrograms (a), electroanatomic maps (b) and
angiograms (c) of endocardial surface of the LAA
(a) Activation at the apex of the LAA is the earliest. (b)The earliest
activation at the apex of the LAA was 112 ms ahead of
CS9-10. (c) The tip of ablation catheter was at the apex
of LAA. The Lasso catheter was placed at base of LAA.

Figure 3: Electroanatomic maps (a) of epicardial surface of the LAA,
surgical approach (b), a macroscoping findings(c) and angiograms of LAA
(d)
(a) The earliest activation at the epicardial apex of the LAA was 120 ms
ahead of CS9-10. The maroon tags represent
radiofrequency applications at the earliest activation sites which
terminated the AT (white arrow). (c) The middle sites of LAA epicardial
surface had lesions from catheter ablation (black arrow).
