Implication

May support targeted isthmus ablation for clockwise flutter; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of durability.

Structured PICO

Population

30 consecutive patients with clinically documented paroxysmal clockwise atrial flutter (18 patients had both counterclockwise and clockwise atrial flutters, and 12 patients had only clockwise atrial flutter).

Intervention

Radiofrequency catheter ablation using linear lesions directed at the inferior vena cava-tricuspid annulus (IVC-TA) and/or coronary sinus ostium-tricuspid annulus (CSO-TA) isthmus.

Outcome

Elimination of atrial flutter and creation of bidirectional conduction block in the IVC-TA and/or CSO-TA isthmus.surrogate

Radiofrequency catheter ablation targeting the IVC-TA and CSO-TA isthmuses is feasible and effective for treating clockwise atrial flutter.
