Heart Rhythm Center, Okayama Heart Clinic, Naka-Ku, Okayama, Japan.
Background: Maintaining an adequate temperature at the target site is essential for effective ablation. We hypothesized that a tissue temperature-controlled (T-Con) catheter for cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation could improve the procedural ablation parameters.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the T-Con (DiamondTemp™) catheter for CTI ablation compared with non-irrigation (Non-Irri) and irrigation (Irri) catheters.
Rates of atrial flutter occurrence and cavotricuspid isthmus reconduction after prophylactic isthmus ablation performed during atrial fibrillation ablation: a clinical study, review, and comparison with previous findings.

Purpose: Based on the high rate of coexisting atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL), prophylactic cavotricuspid isthmus ablation (CTIA) adjunctive to AF ablation has recently been attempted in patients with AF and without AFL. The present study aimed to determine the rates of AFL occurrence and CTI reconduction after performing CTI ablation adjunctive to AF ablation.
Methods: We analyzed the data of 3833 consecutive patients with AF, who underwent prophylactic CTIA with AF ablation between 2009 and 2020.
