Why the study?
Do specific electroanatomic characteristics (smaller thickness) of the mitral isthmus improve acute success in perimitral flutter ablation?
Do specific electroanatomic characteristics (smaller thickness) of the mitral isthmus improve acute success in perimitral flutter ablation?
Evaluating mitral isthmus electroanatomical characteristics, specifically thickness, can guide strategy and location selection for successful perimitral flutter ablation.
Mitral isthmus thickness may guide ablation site selection; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Smaller MI thickness is associated with acute success in PMF ablation. Mitral isthmus electroanatomical characteristics might be used for decision-making on strategy during persistent AF ablation and for selecting the best location for interrupting PMF.
