Ablation of atrial tachycardia after surgery for congenital and acquired heart disease using an electroanatomic mapping system: Which circuits to expect in which substrate?
Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare atrial tachycardia circuits after a range of cardiac operations.Background Knowledge of circuits occurring in a given postsurgical substrate should help to ablate these challenging tachycardias and develop potential preventive strategies.Methods We analyzed tachycardia circuits in 83 consecutive patients (60 males; median age 47 years, range 9-73) after atrial incisions undergoing ablation of atrial tachycardias. A combined strategy of electroanatomic (CARTO) and entrainment mapping was used. Fifty-two patients (63%) underwent operation for congenital and 31 (37%) for acquired heart disease. Patients were divided into subgroups based on the intervention performed in the atria: right lateral atriotomy (39 patients), left atrial (11) and superior transseptal (10) approach to the mitral valve, biatrial heart transplantation (8), Mustard (8) and Fontan (4) procedure, and other interventions (3).Results Most of the 119 tachycardias mapped were isthmus-dependent atrial flutter (66) and incisional tachycardia (30). Isthmus-dependent atrial flutter was the most frequent arrhythmia in all subgroups except for Fontan patients, in whom incisional tachycardia was most frequent. The distribution of tachycardia circuits did not differ significantly among groups.Conclusions The observed circuits did not differ among the postsurgical substrates. Isthmus-dependent atrial flutter should be the first circuit considered in patients after atrial incisions.

“…two or more ECG patterns to alternate, as CTI-dependent typical flutter not only often coexists with the scar-related atrial flutter, but it is also the most common underlying reentrant circuit in atriotomy patients, which is why the ECG aspect often resembles that of typical atrial flutter [5,7].”

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.
