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...
متن کاملSuccessful ablation of refractory neonatal atrial flutter
Case report The patient was a male infant born at 38 weeks’ gestation. Atrial flutter was diagnosed in utero at 35 weeks of gestation, at which time no hydrops fetalis was present and no treatment was commenced. At 6 hours of life, the infant developed tachycardia. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed atrial flutter with 2:1 atrioventricular conduction (Figure 1). Initially the rhythm could be re...
متن کاملInteratrial electrical dissociation after catheter-based ablation for atrial fibrillation and flutter.
A 58-year-old man with hypertension and diabetes with recurrent persistent symptomatic atrial fibrillation resistant to sotalol-facilitated cardioversions was referred for ablation. Catheter-based radiofrequency ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation was performed, which consisted of isolation of all 4 pulmonic veins; linear ablations along the left atrial roof; an ablation line from the l...
متن کاملATRIAL FIBRILLATION COMPLEX CASE STUDY Atrial Flutter with Alternating Cycle Lengths: Mechanism and Mapping
A 69-year-old woman with a 10-year history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was initially treated with propafenone and amiodarone. Four years ago her arrhythmia burden worsened and she developed recurrent episodes of symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation. After several cardioversions, she was referred to our institution for radiofrequency catheter ablation. Her amiodarone was discontinued...
متن کاملChemical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation or flutter with ibutilide in patients receiving amiodarone therapy.
BACKGROUND Ibutilide is a class III drug that is used for the cardioversion of atrial arrhythmias, but it can cause torsade de pointes. Amiodarone also prolongs the QT interval but rarely causes torsade de pointes. There are no studies in which the concomitant use of the 2 agents was examined. The purpose of the present study was to assess the efficacy and safety of cardioversion with combinati...
