Key result
Radiofrequency ablation of the inferior vena cava-tricuspid valve isthmus successfully interrupted atrial flutter in 88.9% (8 of 9) of patients, suggesting a favorable effect on recurrence.
Why the study?
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation of the IVC-T isthmus interrupt atrial flutter and prevent recurrence in patients with atrial flutter?

Does radiofrequency catheter ablation of the IVC-T isthmus interrupt atrial flutter and prevent recurrence in patients with atrial flutter?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the IVC-T isthmus effectively interrupts atrial flutter circuits and may prevent recurrence.
Cosío et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Atrial flutter (n=9). Radiofrequency ablation of the IVC-T isthmus was evaluated on Interruption of atrial flutter activation. Radiofrequency ablation of the inferior vena cava-tricuspid valve isthmus successfully interrupted atrial flutter in 88.9% (8 of 9) of patients, suggesting a favorable effect on recurrence.
