Key result
Catheter ablation serves as first-line therapy for atrial flutter in ACHD but requires specialized centers.
Why the study?
Increased life expectancy in ACHD patients has led to challenges like reentrant atrial arrhythmias, requiring expert management for increasingly frequent catheter ablation procedures.

May support ablation referral to expert ACHD centers; leaves open need for prospective trials.
Does catheter ablation effectively treat atrial flutter in adult patients with congenital heart disease?
This review highlights catheter ablation as a first-line therapy for atrial flutter in ACHD patients, emphasizing the need for specialized centers due to anatomic complexity and recurrence risks.
Waldmann et al. (2021) conducted a review in Atrial flutter in adult congenital heart diseases. Catheter ablation was evaluated. Catheter ablation is a first-line therapy for atrial flutter in adult congenital heart disease, requiring specialized centers and thorough knowledge of complex, phenotype-specific anatomic features.
