Supports feasibility of multimodality imaging-guided CTI ablation in Ebstein anomaly with mechanical TVR; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Key Teaching Points•Cavotricuspid isthmus–dependent atrial flutter occurs in patients with Ebstein anomaly after a tricuspid valve replacement.•There are anatomical obstacles that interrupt the creation of a transmural lesion in patients with Ebstein anomaly after a mechanical valve replacement when delivering radiofrequency energy using conventional fluoroscopy.•Multimodality imaging before and during the procedure may result in a high success rate with a low recurrence and low complication rate. •Cavotricuspid isthmus–dependent atrial flutter occurs in patients with Ebstein anomaly after a tricuspid valve replacement.•There are anatomical obstacles that interrupt the creation of a transmural lesion in patients with Ebstein anomaly after a mechanical valve replacement when delivering radiofrequency energy using conventional fluoroscopy.•Multimodality imaging before and during the procedure may result in a high success rate with a low recurrence and low complication rate.

Lee et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter in Ebstein anomaly with a mechanical tricuspid valve replacement (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus guided by multimodality imaging (preprocedural MDCT, 3D electroanatomic mapping, and intracardiac echocardiography) was evaluated on Bidirectional cavotricuspid isthmus block and freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmias at 1 year. Multimodality imaging-guided cavotricuspid isthmus ablation (103 RF applications, 4487 s) achieved bidirectional block and 1-year arrhythmia-free survival in a patient with Ebstein anomaly and mechanical TVR.
