Association of typical atrial flutter and cavotricuspid isthmus ablation on clinical recurrence after cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Typical atrial flutter commonly occurs in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Limited information exists regarding the effects of concurrent atrial flutter on the long-term outcomes of rhythm control. The data were obtained from a multicenter registry of cryoballoon ablation for AF ( n  = 2,689).

PO-01-009 THE EFFECT OF CATHETER ABLATION OF TYPICAL ATRIAL FLUTTER ON ATRIAL REMODELLING AND VENTRICULAR FUNCTION

HeartRhythm

Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent atrial flutter (AFL) is one of the most common atrial arrhythmias involving the right atrium (RA). Radiofrequency catheter ablation has been widely used as a therapy of choice and it is curative.

Functional block in the initiation and maintenance of common flutter: detailed electrophysiological study and electro-anatomical mapping

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionThe precise pathophysiology of common atrial flutter remains imperfectly known. The direction of activation is therefore frequently counter-clockwise, and the arrhythmia stabilizes around the vena cavas and sinus venosus/crista terminalis region. Its rotation is limited by anatomical and functional boundaries.

Catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter improves cardiac chamber size and function

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent atrial flutter (AFL) is one of the most common atrial arrhythmias involving the right atrium (RA) for which radiofrequency catheter ablation has been widely used as a therapy of choice. Follow-up echocardiographic data was available for 55 patients.

Abstract 4142266: Long-term Outcomes and Predictors of Recurrence in Atrial Arrhythmia Ablations Post-Fontan Procedure: A Retrospective Analysis

Circulation

Recurrence rates after catheter ablation in these patients are high. Demographic, clinical, and outcome variables over 5 years were compared between patients with and without SVT recurrence.Results:Mean age of 25 patients (56% male) at time of SVT ablation was 31.5 ± 7.2 Ablation success rate was 92%.

PO-05-111 CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF CATHETER ABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, ATRIAL FLUTTER, AND ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA IN WILD-TYPE TRANSTHYRETIN AMYLOID CARDIOMYOPATHY: A PROPOSED TREATMENT STRATEGY FOR CATHETER ABLATION IN EACH ARRHYTHMIA

HeartRhythm

Wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM) is often accompanied by atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter (AFL), and atrial tachycardia (AT), which are difficult to control because beta-blockers and antiarrhythmic drugs can worsen heart failure (HF).

Boston Scientific Initiates AVANT GUARD Clinical Trial to Evaluate FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System as First-Line Treatment for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

Outcomes of ablation with the FARAPULSE PFA System – a nonthermal treatment in which electric fields selectively ablate heart tissue – will be compared to outcomes following use of anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy, which is commonly prescribed for patients living with persistent AF. The company now anticipates U.S.
