Article Synopsis
  • Treatment of recurring atrial flutter can be difficult due to anatomical challenges that hinder effective linear ablation.
  • A case involving a 54-year-old patient with recurring peri-mitral flutter was successfully treated using bipolar ablation to create a complete conduction block.
  • This method offers a viable alternative to traditional ablation techniques when deeper lesions are needed for effective treatment.

Background: Reconnection of the mitral isthmus (MI) is common after radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Vein of Marshall ethanol infusion (VOMEI) expedites MI ablation, but long-term results are unclear.

Objectives: This study sought to determine anatomic substrates of failed MI ablation, with and without VOMEI.

Atypical atrial flutter (AFL) can be challenging to ablate, especially when involving dual-loop re-entry. We sought to assess the electroanatomical characteristics of single- and dual-loop AFLs in patients undergoing catheter ablation. We analyzed 25 non-cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent macro-re-entrant AFL in 19 consecutive patients.

Background: Linear and complex electrogram ablation (LCEA) beyond pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is associated with an increase in left atrial macro-re-entrant tachycardias (LAMTs). Posterior wall isolation (PWI) is increasingly performed to improve AF ablation outcomes. However, the impact of PWI on the incidence of LAMT is unknown.
