Atrial flutter in a patient with atrial septal defect and anomalous venous drainage: unusual approach for ablation

Clin Case Rep. 2017 May 23;5(7):1103-1106. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.998. eCollection 2017 Jul.

Abstract

Atrial flutter ablation in CHD (Congenital Heart Disease) patients is a challenging procedure because of the possibility of multiple circuits. Electroanatomical mapping and pacing maneuvers are crucial to determine critical isthmus. Moreover, vascular abnormalities and residual cardiac defects need to be known before the ablation to decide the better strategy for ablation.

Keywords: Ablation; atrial flutter; congenital heart disease; vascular abnormalities.
