Does radiofrequency ablation guided by fractionated mid-diastolic coronary sinus potentials improve termination of coronary sinus-dependent atrial flutter in patients with typical and atypical AFL?

Population

14 patients with atrial flutter (typical and atypical) without previous right or left atrial RF ablation, mean age 69 ± 9 years, 11 males.

Intervention

Radiofrequency ablation targeting the coronary sinus (CS) musculature guided by mid-diastolic fractionated atrial potentials.

Outcome

Termination of AFL and subsequent noninducibility.surrogate

Radiofrequency ablation targeting mid-diastolic fractionated atrial potentials in the coronary sinus is highly effective for terminating CS-dependent atrial flutter.
