Long-term risk of right coronary artery injury after catheter ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus–dependent flutter

HeartRhythm

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)dependent atrial flutter requires ablation of the tricuspid annulus overlying the right coronary artery (RCA). Although it is considered safe, reports of acute and subacute RCA injury in human and animal studies raise the possibility of late RCA stenosis.

Atrial dilatation in Atrial fibrillation : A query with multiple twists!

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

The atrial muscle can be entirely normal, or the interstitium can be infiltrated with lipids, fibroblasts, amyloid, etc. In contrast to other tachycardias, with atrial fibrillation (AF), the focus is often speculative, and ablation attempts are made accordingly. We know atrial flutters can be confined to one atrium.

Multielectrode Radiofrequency Balloon Catheter for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Results From the Global, Multicenter, STELLAR Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction The safety and efficacy of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) ablation with the HELIOSTAR multielectrode radiofrequency (RF) balloon catheter have been demonstrated in European studies; data from elsewhere are lacking.
