We report on our experience with complete mitral isthmus conduction block achieved inadvertently during radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation for a left lateral concealed accessory pathway (AP) mimicking concentric retrograde activation. This rare condition should be acknowledged to avoid misdiagnosis of another concomitant AP and to avoid RF applications in inappropriate areas.
