Left atrial flutterLeft atrial tachycardiaProarrhythmiaFocal atrial tachycardia and macroreentrant left atrial (LA) flutter are proarrhythmic complications of atrial fibrillation ablation, occurring with varying incidence from 2% to 30%. We describe an organized approach to the diagnosis and treatment of...
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...

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...
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...
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...
