Radiofrequency ablation of the left atrial scar-related atrial flutter in a patient without prior ablative procedures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atypical atrial flutter may develop in patients without prior cardiac ablations. In such cases, they be related to the areas of spontaneous left scarring. We describe a case report patient with atypical scarring adjacent mitral valve annulus.

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...

background: about half of all patients who undergo mitral valve surgery suffer from atrial fibrillation (af). cox described the surgical cut-and-sew maze procedure, which is an effective surgical method but has some complications. this study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of a substitution method of radiofrequency ablation (rfa) for patients undergoing mitral valve surgery with af. metho...

Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
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 کاملradiofrequency catheter ablation of type 1 atrial flutter
it has been well - established that common atrial flutter is due to intraatrial macroreentry and its reentry circuit locates in the right atrium. this reentry circuit has been characterized to involve an area of slow conduction identifiable electrophysiologically at the low posteroseptal right atrium and anatomical narrow isthmus snrrounded by the inferior vena capa, coronary sinus astium and t...
