Ablation of atrial flutter in a patient after Fontan procedure: a case report of challenging access to the common atriumAblationAngioplastyAtrial tachycardiaCase reportHypoplastic left heart syndromeBACKGROUND. In patients with a total cavopulmonary connection in Fontan circulation, the acce...
Atrial flutter is an irregular heartbeat. It reduces your heart's ability to pump blood, which means you do not get enough oxygen. An irregular heartbeat could lead to a life-threatening blood clot or stroke.WHILE YOU ARE HERE:Informed consent...
In particular, radiofrequency (RF) ablation is considered as first-line therapy in atrial flutter, but not in AF. The differences between the two arrhythmias, usually detectable by ECG, are based on the following: • Atrial flutter has a single, stable reentrant pathway. Therefore, all ...
Recurrent atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus: a very long-term follow-up of 333 patients. Introduction: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus is an effective therapy for typical atrial flutter (AFL), however, the long-...
The operative technique of the maze III procedure for the treatment of patients with medically refractory atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation is described in a sequential fashion. The accompanying diagrams of the procedure are illustrated from the view of the operating surgeon. (J THORAC CARDIOVASC...
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...
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...

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...
