assessed by sequential detailed activation mapping at both sides of the ablation line during�…

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of type I atrial flutter (AFl) has a high procedural success
(95%) 1–6 and a low recurrence rate (6% to 9%) 3, 5, 7 after documentation of bidirectional�…

Aims: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter is one of the most frequent
indications for catheter ablation in electrophysiology laboratories today. Clinical utility of�…

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to study electrophysiologic characteristics and
compare the electrophysiologically guided focal ablation technique and linear ablation�…

Background—Catheter ablation of typical right atrial flutter is now widely performed. The
best end point has been demonstrated to be bidirectional isthmus block. We investigated the�…
