Abstract:
Ablation of typical atrial flutter has a high safety and efficacy profile, but hidden pitfalls may be encountered. In some cases, a longer cycle length with isoelectric lines is associated with a different or more complex arrhythmogenic substrate, which may be missed if conduction block of the cavotricuspid isthmus is performed in the absence of the clinical arrhythmia. Prior surgery may have consistently modified the atrial substrate and complex or multiple arrhythmias associated with an isthmus-dependent circuit can be encountered. In these cases, electroanatomic mapping is useful to guide the procedure and plan an appropriate ablation strategy.
