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

DAIC

The trial will evaluate the outcomes of therapy provided with the FARAPULSE PFA System versus AADs, including device-or procedure-related adverse events, the rates of freedom from AF, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia, as well as AF burden – a measurement of the amount of AF an individual experiences.

Thromboembolic Complications From Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter in Pediatrics and Young Adults: A Multicenter Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are relatively rare in young people and the incidence of thromboembolic complications is unknown. These issues contribute to the limited utility of present guidelines regarding anticoagulation in this population.

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.

A fascinating electrophysiology case. What is this wide complex tachycardia, and how best to manage it?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

She also has a hx of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and is on oral anticoagulant treatment. The ECG was interpreted as showing atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. The heart rate could be compatible with that of a 2:1 conducted atrial flutter. The last echocardiography 12 months ago showed HFmrEF.
