Outcome after cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation in patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation and drug-related typical atrial flutter
Abstract
This study evaluates the long-term clinical outcome of 56 consecutive patients affected by atrial fibrillation and drug-related typical atrial flutter who underwent cavo-tricuspid isthmus radiofrequency ablation. Symptomatic arrhythmic events recurred after ablation in 64% of the patients during follow-up of 19 +/- 9 months. Even in those who had recurrences, there was a substantial reduction in the incidence of episodes, quality of life was improved, and hospitalizations decreased.

In patients whose atrial flutter appears during antiarrhythmic drug treatment for atrial fibrillation, cavotricuspid isthmus ablation may help stabilize sinus rhythm while the drug is continued.
“In patients with AFL appearing during AAD treatment of AF CTI ablation may help stabilize sinus rhythm while maintaining the AAD.188”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
