Alerts to scar-related atypical flutter risk after PVI; hypothesis-generating and leaves incidence plus prevention open for prospective study.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation for focal atrial fibrillation can lead to atypical atrial flutter due to reentrant phenomena around pulmonary vein disconnection scars.
Pérez‐Villacastín et al. (2003) studied this question. Radiofrequency catheter ablation for pulmonary vein isolation resulted in new atypical atrial flutter in two patients due to reentrant phenomena around disconnection scars.
