Since Lewis postulated in 1920 that atrial flutter is due to reentrant circuit, a large body of evidence has advanced our understanding of the electrophysiologic substrate of typical atrial flutter and has enhanced our ability to treat this arrhythmia. Rosenblueth and Garcia-Ramos [1] and Frame ...
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 ...
Predictors of the atrial fibrillation following catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter Background:Despite technical refinements and improved long-term efficacy of the ablation procedure for treating AFL (AFL), the subsequent occurrence of AF ... M Haghjoo,N Salem,M Rafati,... - 《Research in...
The goal of radiofrequency ablation for typical atrial flutter is to interrupt conduction across the inferior vena cavatricuspid valve isthmus. The procedure ... ML Gil,FAG Cosío - 《Zeitschrift Für Kardiologie》 被引量: 9发表: 2000年 The radiofrequency ablation of atrial flutter Radiofrequency ...
Four patients subsequently underwent an ablate and pace procedure, two died of co-morbid illnesses, and two were lost to follow up. The remaining 55 patients form the basis of the report. RESULTS: Patients were followed for a mean (SD) of 12 (9.5) months. Atrial flutter ablation resulted ...
Catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter (AFL) occurring in patients who take antiarrhythmic drugs for atrial fibrillation (AF) has been proposed as a curative approach for AF. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of this technique. Forty-six consecutive patients (30 males, 16...
Risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation and stroke after radiofrequency ablation of isolated, typical atrial flutter Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is considered a curative procedure for typical atrial flutter (AFL); however, patients remain at risk for developing new atri...

Non-contrast agent-enhanced techniques were suitable for repetitive lesion visualization during electrophysiological interventions, thus allowing for intraprocedural monitoring of ablation success. The patient studies in 24 patients with typical atrial flutter several minutes to hours after cavotricuspid isthmus...
Cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) linear ablation has been established as the treatment for typical atrial flutter. Recently, ablation index (AI) has emerged as a novel marker for estimating ablation lesions. We investigated the relationship between CTI depth
late development of atrial fibrillation after atrial flutter ablation.Radiofrequency catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter is highly effective and associated with a low recurrence rate of atrial flutter, but atrial fibrillation continues to be a long-term risk for patients undergoing this procedure...
