Effects of cavotricuspid isthmus ablation on atrioventricular node electrophysiology in patients with typical atrial flutter.
BACKGROUND The atrial musculature in the cavotricuspid isthmus is a part of posterior inputs to the AV node. In patients with typical atrial flutter, effects of radiofrequency ablation of this isthmus on AV node conduction are still unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS This study included 16 patients with clinically documented typical atrial flutter. Group 1 had 8 patients without and group 2 had 8 p...
متن کاملA Difficult Case of Atrial Tachycardia.
A 60-year-old male with a history of prior ablation of typical cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter presented to us with recurrent palpitations. The surface 12-lead EKG was consistent with atrial tachycardia, for which an ablation was planned. The patient was found to have multiple marcroreentrant left atrial tachycardias utilizing areas of scar as substrate. Isthmuses of tissue with ...
متن کاملAblation of Post Transplant Atrial Flutter and Pseudo-fibrillation Using Magnetic Navigation via a Superior Approach
Ablation of cavotricuspid ishtmus flutter and atrial tachycardia in a complex substrate has never been reported using remote navigation via superior approach. Venous access was obtained via right internal jugular for ablation and left subclavian for duodecapolar catheter placement into the coronary sinus. In a posttransplant patient presenting with both regular and irregular tachycardia, both c...
متن کاملElectrogram polarity and cavotricuspid isthmus block during ablation of typical atrial flutter.
INTRODUCTION The atrial activation sequence around the tricuspid annulus has been used to assess whether complete block has been achieved across the cavotricuspid isthmus during radiofrequency ablation of typical atrial flutter. However, sometimes the atrial activation sequence does not clearly establish the presence or absence of complete block. The purpose of this study was to determine wheth...
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...
