Is 8-mm more effective than 4-mm tip electrode catheter for ablation of typical atrial flutter?
BACKGROUND The prospective, randomized study comparing 4- with 8-mm tip electrodes for radiofrequency linear ablation of typical atrial flutter is not available. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 104 consecutive patients with typical atrial flutter were randomly assigned to undergo radiofrequency linear ablation using a 4- (Group I, n=54) or 8-mm tip electrode (Group II, n=50) catheter (temperat...

OBJECTIVE To assess the changes in quality of life, arrhythmia symptoms, and hospital resource utilisation following catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter. DESIGN Patient questionnaire to compare the time interval following ablation with a similar time interval before ablation. SETTING Tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS 63 consecutive patients were studied. Four patients subsequentl...

conclusions: catheter ablation of flutter circuit will not prevent later manifestation of af in 16% of the patients undergoing catheter ablation of the typical afl. bmi was the only independent predictor of af following catheter ablation of the typical afl. objectives; to determine long-term incidence and predictors of af after catheter ablation of typical afl. material and methods: between mar...
متن کاملFlutter ablation with remote magnetic navigation: comparison between the 8-mm tip, the irrigated tip and a manual approach.
INTRODUCTION Remote magnetic navigated ablation has proven its feasibility in a large group of arrhythmias. Until now only scarce data are available on the use for atrial flutter. In this study we compared remote magnetic navigation (RMN), using non-irrigated and irrigated tip catheters, to manual radiofrequency ablation for ablating typical atrial flutter. METHODS The 3 study groups consiste...
متن کاملComparison of 8-mm-tip and irrigated-tip catheters in the ablation of isthmus-dependent atrial flutter: a prospective randomized trial.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Both 8-mm-tip and irrigated-tip catheters improve outcomes in typical atrial flutter ablation. However, it is not yet known which is preferable. The objective was to compare the effectiveness of 8-mm-tip (Group 1) and open irrigated-tip (Group 2) catheters in the first ablation attempt. METHODS A prospective randomized trial with a long-term follow-up was performed...
