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 abl...
Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation ablation – sequential or combined? A cost-benefit and risk analysis of primary prevention pulmonary vein ablation Recent studies have tested the hypothesis that preventive pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) at time of atrial flutter ablation in patients who have not...
Atrial flutter often results from a macroreentrant circuit that uses anatomic structures within the right atrium as its borders. RF ablation at the site of an obligatory isthmus can eliminate the atrial flutter circuit. The aim of this study was to compare two approaches to atrial flutter ablation...
Endocardial catheter ablation has been recently been proposed for the treatment of arrhythmias originating in the right atrium. In this study, we used this technique in 5 patients with paroxysmal common atrial flutter and 3 patients with paroxysmal uncommon atrial flutter. Various antiarrhythmic agents...

Recent studies of human type 1 atrial flutter demonstrated reentry in the right atrium and an area of slow conduction in the low posteroseptal right atrium. Direct-current catheter ablation of this area has been only moderately successful in preventing recurrence. Therefore, we performed endocardial...

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 : an irregular heart rhythm of the atria. It is classified as supraventricular tachycardia . Symptoms include palpitations . Complications include increased risk of stroke and heart failure . Key difference: Flutter is a regular rhythm whereas fibrillation is irregular. Paroxysmal supra...
