Abstract
The ligament of Marshall is an embryological remnant of the left superior vena cava that contains neural tissues shown to be an arrhythmogenic source of atrial fibrillation (AF). Vein of Marshall (VOM) ethanol ablation is an ablation technique that can potentially treat AF by targeting the ligament of Marshall. We report a case of a patient who developed a pro-arrhythmic effect related to VOM ethanol ablation, which manifested as a perimitral flutter.
