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).

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.

PO-03-120 THE PROGNOSTIC OUTCOME OF ATYPICAL ATRIAL FLUTTER FOLLOWING A SINGLE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY STUDY AND ABLATION

HeartRhythm

Atypical Atrial Flutter (AAFL) prevalence is increasing due to the escalating Atrial Fibrillation (AF) ablations and cardiac surgeries. We wanted to explore the outcome of the AAFL ablation, considering the recent changes in mapping and ablation.

Long-term outcomes after catheter ablation for idiopathic atypical atrial flutter

HeartRhythm

Idiopathic atypical (non-cavotricupid isthmus [CTI]-dependent) atrial flutter (IAAFL) may be seen in patients without structural heart disease and without previous cardiac surgery or ablation.

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).

Empirical superior vena cava electrical isolation guided by quantitative ablation index improves outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Open Heart

Background The value of empirical superior vena cava isolation (SVCI) following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to improve the efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) remains controversial. RFCA was guided by quantitative AI in both groups. vs 81.5%, p=0.02). 95% CI 0.19

PO-03-118 LONG TERM OUTCOMES, SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOVASCULAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE (ICMR) GUIDED FLUTTER ABLATION

HeartRhythm

Ablation of isthmus-dependent atrial flutter with interventional CMR has demonstrated its efficacy and safety in the initial phase for achieving bidirectional block. However, limited long-term follow-up data exist for these patients.
