RF catheter ablation for symptomatic typical atrial flutter is associated with a high procedural success rate, but a second RF procedure may be required in up to one third of subjects, particularly those with right atrial enlargement. In those subjects with both established AF and flutter, RF ...
During the two-year period 1999 and 2000, a total of 108 procedures were performed for atrial flutter in a total of 84 patients. A total of 543 RFA procedures for various forms of re-entry tachycardias were performed during the same period; hence, atrial flutter comprised about 20% of ...

although incidentatrial tachycardiaoratrial flutterrelated to both previously existing and newly created substrate also may be seen. The mechanisms for such arrhythmias may include focal tachycardias not identified at prior ablation, microreentrantatrial flutters, and macroreentry engaging larger areas of...
Complete bidirectional cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) block is mandatory for radio-frequency (RF) ablation of typical atrial flutter (AF). CTI block can be assessed by a simplified method using two catheters and the technique of differential pacing, but long-term results in large series are poorly...
technology should be the freedom from AF/atrial flutter/tachycardia off antiarrhythmic therapy of greater than 30 seconds’ duration. However, the acceptance that the burden of AF of less than 30 seconds is insignificant has no basis in scientific evidence, despite the need for an agreement for ...
Vein damage during the procedure happens to one in 500 patients. A small surgery is required to repair the vein when this occurs. Another surgical risk during ablation for atrial flutter is the possibility of blood filling the sac around the heart. This occurs in approximately one out of 200...
Novel strategies in the ablation of typical atrial flutter: role of intracardiac echocardiography.Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) is one of the most frequently performed procedures in electrophysiology. Despite a high success rate, ablation of the CTI can be ...
atrial flutter; catheter ablation; cardiac hypertrophy; pulmonary hypertension Atrial Flutter and Pulmonary Hypertension. Background: Radiofrequency ablation is first-line therapy for atrial flutter (AFL). There are no studies of ablation in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Meth...
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging technology for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), for which pre-clinical and early-stage clinical data are suggestive of some degree of preferentiality to myocardial tissue ablation without damage to adj
