Abstract

Background Peri-mitral atrial flutter (PMFL) is commonly encountered in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the electrophysiologic characteristics, procedural success, and medium-term outcomes in patients with PMFL.Methods The study consisted of 50 consecutive patients (45 men and 5 women, age 57 +/- 12 years) with PMFL following or during AF ablation. Of the 50 PMFLs, 24 occurred during AF ablation (16 at index ablation and 8 at repeat procedure for recurrent AF), and 26 developed during follow-up. Ablation of PMFL was performed by creating a linear lesion joining the mitral annulus to the left inferior pulmonary vein.Results The incidence of PMFL was higher in patients with mitral isthmus (MI) ablation performed during AF ablation, prior to the development of PMFL, than in those in whom MI ablation was not performed (23% vs 8%, P = .04). Following the procedure, PMFL was more frequent in patients with prior MI ablation than in those without (41% vs 15%, P <.01). Seventy percent (35/50) were terminated by ablation with 6.4 +/- 6.9 minutes of radiofrequency application. Among patients in whom PMFL terminated, supplemental ablation was required for bidirectional conduction block in 66% (23/35). MI block was achieved in 92% (46/50) using 13.6 +/- 7.4 minutes of ablation. At mean follow-up of 19 +/- 4 months, 96% of patients were free from PMFL.Conclusion PMFL can be terminated by MI ablation, but the procedure is proarrhythmic. Supplemental ablation is necessary to establish bidirectional block of the line despite termination of PMFL in the majority of patients.

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.
