This study aims to compare the mapping efficacy, instant success, and long-term recurrence of catheter ablation for PACs with non-pulmonary vein (PV) and non-superior vena cava (SVC) origins between the novel dual-reference approach (DRA) and the routine single-reference approach (SRA) of mapping.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory PACs, or frequent residual PACs after atrial tachyarrhythmia ablation were enrolled. During activation mapping, the coronary sinus (CS) catheter was used as the only timing reference in the SRA group. In the DRA group, another catheter, which was spatially separated from the CS catheter, was used as the second reference. The timing difference between the two references was used to discriminate the targeted PACs from the uninterested rhythms. Procedural parameters and long-term recurrence were compared. A total of 188 patients (109 in SRA and 79 in DRA) were enrolled. The baseline characteristics were similar. Compared with the SRA group, the DRA group had less repeated mapping (1.2 \u00b1 0.4 vs. 1.4 \u00b1 0.5, P = 0.004), shorter mapping (15 \u00b1 6 vs. 23 \u00b1 7 min, P &amp;lt; 0.001) and procedural time (119 \u00b1 28 vs. 132 \u00b1 22 min, P = 0.001), similar procedural complication rates (3.6 vs. 3.8%, P &amp;gt; 0.999), higher instant success (96.2 vs. 87.2%, P = 0.039), and lower recurrence
