The purpose of the study was to look for the influence of age on indications, clinical data and long-term results of atrial flutter (AFL) radiofrequency ablation. Methods 1154 patients, 882 males, 272 females, mean age 64卤12 years were referred for ablation of recurrent or poorly-tolerated...
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is a very precise procedure, directed at the destruction of the anatomic substrate of arrhythmias, with minimum cardiac damage, therefore, it requires a very precise knowledge of the functional and anatomic substrate of the arrhythmia. Atrial flutter (AFL) is ...
OBJECTIVES: 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...
Direct treatment of atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation--that is, attempting to prevent arrhythmia recurrences by ablating atrial tissue--has been a challenge because of uncertainty about the location of optimal target tissues as well as the amount of atrial tissue requiring destruction to effect ...
MIAMI, FL — Case volume and age may both be significant predictors of complications fromcatheter ablationofatrial flutter(AFL), suggests a new retrospective analysis of nearly 90,000 patient procedures conducted in the US[1]. Using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) on catheter abla...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the time to onset and the predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) during long term follow up of patients with typical atrial flutter (AFL) treated with transisthmic ablation. DESIGN: Prospective multicentre study. METHODS AND RESULTS: 383 patients (75.4% men, mean (SD) ...
Atrial Flutter Mapping and Ablation II. Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Flutter Circuits The definition of the anatomical substrate of reentry in at rial flutter has allowed the recognition of narrow, critical areas of the circuit, where radiof... SS Barol,FG Cosio,F Arribas,... - 《Pacing...
- 《American Journal of Cardiology》 被引量: 127发表: 1996年 Predictors of Success in Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Flutter Radiofrequency catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter at the isthmus between the tricuspid annulus and the inferior vena cava is established. However ... B ...

Creation of a complete bidirectional inferior vena cava-tricuspid annulus isthmus block (CBIB) by radiofrequency catheter ablation is now a well-accepted criterion for prevention of common atrial flutter (AFl) recurrences. However, some patients still complain of palpitations after ablation, and it is...
