We report the case of a young woman in whom previous ablation of a concealed left-sided accessory pathway (AP) created an iatrogenic mitral block. The mitral block was responsible for a split retrograde atrial activation pattern during orthodromic atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia (AVRT). The differential diagnoses are discussed. The AP was ablated at the site with the shortest interval between the ventricular signal and the earliest component of the retrograde atrial activation. Meticulous mapping is paramount during AVRT with an unusual retrograde atrial activation pattern.
