Article Synopsis
- There is limited data comparing irrigated catheters to non-irrigated catheters for ablating accessory pathways in adults; this study analyzes 69 cases from 2010 to 2017.
- The study involved mostly middle-aged male patients, with a majority of the accessory pathways located on the left side and a significant number being concealed.
- Results showed a higher success rate for irrigated catheters (94.4%) compared to non-irrigated ones (73.3%), indicating that irrigated catheters are more effective in ablation procedures.
A 60-year-old male with a history of prior ablation of typical cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter presented to us with recurrent palpitations. The surface 12-lead EKG was consistent with atrial tachycardia, for which an ablation was planned. The patient was found to have multiple marcroreentrant left atrial tachycardias utilizing areas of scar as substrate.
