Abstrakt: We identified a case of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) originating from inferior vena cava (IVC) and the low-posterior left atrium (LA). Both foci, the IVC and the low-posterior LA, simultaneously served not only as trigger but also as driver for maintenance of AF. During AF, the IVC and the low-posterior LA continuously demonstrated the rapid and fractionated potentials that exit into both atria with conduction block. Focal ablation for ectopic beats within the IVC and the low-posterior LA completely eliminated the storm of AF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
