An anterior ablation line is preferred for perimitral flutter after heart transplant.

چکیده
Perimitral atrial flutter in cardiac allograft recipients is uncommon. In general, mitral isthmus ablation can be quite challenging in all patients with perimitral flutter, including the subset of patients who present following left atrial ablation for atrial fibrillation. We report 2 cases where an anterior ablation line was easily performed to eliminate perimitral flutter and produce bidirectional block.

Efficacy of ablation at the anteroseptal line for the treatment of perimitral flutter.
BACKGROUND Left atrial flutter following atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is increasingly common and difficult to treat. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of ablation of the anteroseptal line connecting the right superior pulmonary vein (RSPV) to the anteroseptal mitral annulus (MA) for the treatment of perimitral flutter (PMF). METHODS We systematically studied patients who were previous...
متن کاملBipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation for refractory perimitral flutter: a case report
BACKGROUND Mitral isthmus is often targeted as a part of stepwise approach during radiofrequency ablation for persistent atrial ablation. Acute success rate in achieving the mitral isthmus block is only modest, late reconduction rate is relatively high and, consequently, incomplete lesion may be proarrhythmic. We describe the first-in-man experience with successful MI ablation by bipolar RF ene...
متن کاملPerimitral atrial flutter associated with a protected coronary sinus after a Maze IV procedure and concomitant mitral annulus repair
Introduction The Maze IV procedure during cardiac surgery is an established treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) concomitant with a mitral valve repair or replacement. Recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias are mainly left atrial (LA) flutter, which is associated with gaps on previous surgical lesions. Herein, we report a case in which a 3-dimensional mapping system could demonstrate...
متن کاملTransthoracic epicardial ablation of mitral isthmus for treatment of recurrent perimitral flutter.
BACKGROUND Perimitral flutter (PMF) is a common form of left atrial tachycardia after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. The mitral isthmus (MI) is the standard ablation target. However, in some cases bidirectional block cannot be achieved. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the first experience using a transthoracic epicardial (TTE) approach to treat recurrent PMF after prio...
متن کاملChanging activation pattern of the coronary sinus during ongoing perimitral flutter.
A 68-year-old man without any structural heart disease underwent ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation in 2008 (isolation of 4 pulmonary veins and electrogram-based ablation of the posteroinferior left atrium) and 2009 (left pulmonary vein reisolation and linear ablation of the left atrial [LA] roof with demonstration of bidirectional block). Recently, he was referred for the ablation of r...
