Radiofrequency ablation of atrial flutter.
A33-year-old man with cardiac and pulmonary sarcoidosis developed ventricular tachycardia managed with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and amiodarone therapy. Subsequently, episodes of atrial flutter triggered spurious therapies from the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, and the patient underwent electrophysiological evaluation. Common atrial flutter (caudocranial septal and cou...
متن کاملPredictors of atrial fibrillation after ablation of typical atrial flutter.
BACKGROUND The occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after successful ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter (CTI-AFL) is an important medical event, but predictors of this event are still controversial. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of AF and its predictors in patients undergoing ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter (CTI-AFL). METHODS Fifty...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation after Radiofrequency Ablation of Type I Atrial Flutter.
Typical atrial flutter (AFL) or type I AFL is the most common type of macroreentrant atrial tachycardia. Its prevalence increases with age and is more common in men. Ablation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI), a critical part of the circuit, is safe and highly effective. Despite the long-term efficacy of this therapy, a significant proportion of patients undergoing CTI ablation will develop a...
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...
متن کاملSingle-catheter validation of bidirectional block during atrial flutter ablation
Introduction Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of typical atrial flutter (AFL) is an effective and widely performed method of treatment. Confirmation of conduction block in the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) is the best endpoint of the procedure. Electrophysiological measurements for validation of CTI block are usually performed using 2 or 3 catheters. However, in some situations this multi-...
