Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study electrophysiologic characteristics and compare the electrophysiologically guided focal ablation technique and linear ablation technique in patients with common atrial flutter in a prospective randomized fashion. Background. Catheter ablation of the common atrial flutter circuit can be performed with different techniques. To date, these two techniques have not been compared prospectively in a randomized study. Sixty patients with drug-refractory common atrial flutter were randomly assigned to undergo radiofrequency catheter ablation performed with the electrophysiologically guided focal ablation (Group I) or linear ablation technique (Group II). In Group I, radiofrequency energy was delivered to the site characterized by concealed entrainment with a short stimulus-P wave interval (<40 ms) and a postpacing interval equal to the atrial flutter cycle length. In Group II, continuous migratory application of radiofrequency energy was used to create two linear lesions in or around the inferior vena cava-tricuspid ring isthmus. Serial 24-h ambulatory electrocardiographic (Holter) and follow-up electrophysiologic studies were performed to assess recurrence of tachycardia and possible atrial arrhyth...Continue Reading
