Radiofrequency ablation of atrial flutter.
A33-year-old man with cardiac and pulmonary sarcoidosis developed ventricular tachycardia managed with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and amiodarone therapy. Subsequently, episodes of atrial flutter triggered spurious therapies from the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, and the patient underwent electrophysiological evaluation. Common atrial flutter (caudocranial septal and cou...
متن کاملRisk and Outcome after Ablation of Isthmus-Dependent Atrial Flutter in Elderly Patients
PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH To study the influence of age on the clinical presentation and long-term outcome of patients referred for atrial flutter (AFL) ablation. Age-related differences have been reported regarding the prognosis of arrhythmias. METHODS A total of 1187 patients with a mean age 65±12 years consecutively referred for AFL ablation were retrospectively analyzed in the study. RESU...
متن کاملSuccessful ablation of refractory neonatal atrial flutter
Case report The patient was a male infant born at 38 weeks’ gestation. Atrial flutter was diagnosed in utero at 35 weeks of gestation, at which time no hydrops fetalis was present and no treatment was commenced. At 6 hours of life, the infant developed tachycardia. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed atrial flutter with 2:1 atrioventricular conduction (Figure 1). Initially the rhythm could be re...
متن کاملradiofrequency catheter ablation of type 1 atrial flutter
it has been well - established that common atrial flutter is due to intraatrial macroreentry and its reentry circuit locates in the right atrium. this reentry circuit has been characterized to involve an area of slow conduction identifiable electrophysiologically at the low posteroseptal right atrium and anatomical narrow isthmus snrrounded by the inferior vena capa, coronary sinus astium and t...
متن کاملPredictors of atrial fibrillation after ablation of typical atrial flutter.
BACKGROUND The occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after successful ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter (CTI-AFL) is an important medical event, but predictors of this event are still controversial. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of AF and its predictors in patients undergoing ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter (CTI-AFL). METHODS Fifty...
