Atrial flutter most commonly occurs in a reentrant circuit around the tricuspid valve — typical atrial flutter or type I. Ablation for this rhythm is easy since it requires only venous access to ...

Use of catheter ablation is not only beneficial for treating atrial flutter but also can significantly reduce hospital visits – both inpatient and emergency – and lower the risk for atrial ...

During atrial flutter, the short circuit — a circular electrical pathway — allows the electrical impulse to quickly move around the right atrium, ... This type of atrial flutter can be cured with a ...

During ablation of typical atrial flutter, sequential or continuous radiofrequency lesions are given to form a contiguous linear lesion extending from the tricuspid annulus to the inferior vena cava, ...

Atrial flutter is a common tachycardia (fast heart beat) that results from a rapid electrical circuit in the atrium . Atrial flutter can be caused by scarring in the heart resulting from prior cardiac ...

Atrial flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm. ... (cryotherapy ablation). When used appropriately, the success rate of cardiac catheterization is between 90% and 95%. Even so, it can return in 4% to 6% ...

Introduction. Atypical left atrial flutter (ALAF) is an often-stable arrhythmia commonly seen in approximately 80% of the 20% of ablations for atrial fibrillation that results in atrial arrhythmias () ...

From the Clinical Electrophysiology Laboratories, Section of Cardiology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill. Background—The occurrence of atrial fibrillation after ablation of type I atrial flutter ...
