Long term follow up of radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial flutter: clinical course and predictors of atrial fibrillation occurrence.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the time to onset and the predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) during long term follow up of patients with typical atrial flutter (AFL) treated with transisthmic ablation. DESIGN Prospective multicentre study. METHODS AND RESULTS 383 patients (75.4% men, mean (SD) age 61.7 (11.1) years) who underwent transisthmic ablation for typical AFL were investigated. In 239 pa...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation and its determinants after radiofrequency ablation of chronic common atrial flutter
AIM Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a major clinical issue and its occurrence is the main problem after catheter ablation of atrial flutter. The long-term occurrence of AFib after common atrial flutter ablation is still matter of debate as it may influence the therapeutic approach. So, the aim of our study was to analyze the determinants and the time course of AFib after radiofrequency catheter a...
متن کاملPredictors of the Atrial Fibrillation Following Catheter Ablation of Typical Atrial Flutter.
BACKGROUND Despite technical refinements and improved long-term efficacy of the ablation procedure for treating AFL (AFL), the subsequent occurrence of AF (AF) following this procedure remains a significant clinical problem. OBJECTIVES To determine long-term incidence and predictors of AF after catheter ablation of typical AFL. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between March 2005 and February 2010, a to...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation of type I atrial flutter: time to onset, determinants, and clinical course.
BACKGROUND The occurrence of atrial fibrillation after ablation of type I atrial flutter remains an important clinical problem. To gain further insight into the pathogenesis and significance of postablation atrial fibrillation, we examined the time to onset, determinants, and clinical course of atrial fibrillation after ablation of type I flutter in a large patient cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS...
متن کاملImpact of first line radiofrequency ablation in patients with lone atrial flutter on the long term risk of subsequent atrial fibrillation.
R adiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) of the inferior vena cava–tricuspid isthmus is the treatment of choice for atrial flutter (AFL) given its high efficacy. One controlled study of AFL with medication has been done to date. Despite the introduction and high success rate of periablation, questions remained: is transisthmus ablation a definite cure for patients with AFL or can their follow up...
