Catheter ablation of atypical atrial flutter and atrial tachycardia within the coronary sinus after left atrial ablation for atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to describe the prevalence and ablation of coronary sinus (CS) arrhythmias after left atrial ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). BACKGROUND The CS has been implicated in a variety of supraventricular arrhythmias. METHODS Thirty-eight patients underwent mapping and ablation of atypical flutter that developed during (n = 5) or after (n = 33) ablation f...
متن کاملAtrial flutter with atypical presentation
Fifty-five year old lady presented with complaints of recurrent palpitations for last 5 years. She had already undergone 3 previous attempts at ablation at another institution; the details of the procedures were not available. Previous cardiac disease or cardiac surgery was absent. Presenting ECG was consistent with counterclock wise (CCW) atrial flutter (Negative flutter waves in II, III, aVF ...
متن کاملFocal atrial tachycardia.
Focal atrial tachycardia is a relatively uncommon arrhythmia. Nevertheless, the management of highly symptomatic patients with focal atrial tachycardia can be problematic owing to the poor response to medical treatment. Moreover, focal atrial tachycardia can trigger other atrial arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation and flutter. Radiofrequency ablation of focal atrial tachycardia is extremely su...
متن کاملAtypical right atrial flutter patterns.
BACKGROUND The purpose of our study was to define the incidence and mechanisms of atypical right atrial flutter. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 28 (8%) of 372 consecutive patients with atrial flutter (AFL) had 36 episodes of sustained atypical right AFL. Among 24 (67%) of 36 episodes of lower loop reentry (LLR), 13 (54%) of 24 episodes had early breakthrough at the lower lateral tricuspid ann...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of Atrial Incisional Tachycardia mistaken for Atrial flutter
Incisional sustained tachycardias are frequent in patients who have undergone a surgical repair of interatrial defect. A 43-year-old woman with drug refractory, highly symptomatic, persistent atrial tachycardia in the last year, was referred to our unit for catheter ablation. The patient had undergone a cardiac operation for repairing interatrial secundum ostium type defect with a patch five ye...
