Key result
Ablation of atypical atrial flutter guided by concealed entrainment successfully eliminated 85% (11 of 13) of targeted arrhythmias, though most patients required further treatment for new arrhythmias.
Why the study?
Is mapping and ablation guided by concealed entrainment feasible and clinically beneficial in patients with atypical atrial flutter without prior cardiac surgery?
Population
7 consecutive patients without prior cardiac surgery presenting with atypical atrial flutter

Concealed entrainment mapping appears feasible for atypical flutter without prior surgery; leaves open long-term benefit in case-report data.

Is mapping and ablation guided by concealed entrainment feasible and clinically beneficial in patients with atypical atrial flutter without prior cardiac surgery?
Mapping and ablation of atypical atrial flutter using concealed entrainment is feasible, but long-term clinical benefit is limited by the frequent emergence of new arrhythmias.
Bogun et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Atypical atrial flutter (n=7). Mapping and ablation guided by concealed entrainment was evaluated on Successful ablation of targeted atypical atrial flutters. Ablation of atypical atrial flutter guided by concealed entrainment successfully eliminated 85% (11 of 13) of targeted arrhythmias, though most patients required further treatment for new arrhythmias.
