Case Report: Epi-endocardial bridges in refractory cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter: technical analysis of epi-endocardial breakthrough

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundTypical isthmus-dependent atrial flutter (AFL) is traditionally treated through radiofrequency (RF) ablation to create a bidirectional conduction block across the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) in the right atrium.

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.

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.

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

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

In contrast to other tachycardias, with atrial fibrillation (AF), the focus is often speculative, and ablation attempts are made accordingly. Pulmonary veins have been the primary target for ablation for many years, yet the success rates remain inconsistent. We know atrial flutters can be confined to one atrium.
