Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation Post‐Cavotricuspid Isthmus Ablation in Patients with Typical Atrial Flutter: Left‐Atrial Size as an Independent Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence

Abstract: At long-term follow-up, approximately 82% of patients post-cavotricuspid isthmus ablation for atrial flutter developed drug refractory atrial fibrillation. This finding suggests that elimination of atrial flutter might delay, but does not prevent, atrial fibrillation. Evidence suggests both arrhythmias may share common triggers and such patients may derive a better long-term benefit from anatomical ablative treatment of atrial fibrillation as well.

“…Evidence from previous studies suggests that pulmonary vein triggers are responsible for the development of both arrhythmias in coexistent AF and AFL. 16,18 Therefore, eradication of flutter circuit alone does not prevent eventual manifestation of AF. 19 Bertaglia et al 13 reported a cumulative probability of recurrence to of 62% in patients undergoing AFL ablation, whereas we observed a recurrence rate of 74% after AFL ablation alone.…”

“…Thus, in the vast majority of instances, without preceding AF, there can be no AFL. The most recent additional support of this concept comes from the report by Ellis et al, 6 which found that of 363 patients who presented with only CTI-dependent AFL and who underwent CTI ablation, long-term follow-up (mean of 39Ϯ11 months) demonstrated newly recognized AF in 82%. It also should be noted that, as Moreira et al 1 recognize, in some patients, a LoB between the vena cavae may be fixed (ie, anatomic) rather than functional.…”

“…Or do they all develop AF if they are followed up long enough? Citing again the recent study by Ellis et al, 6 perhaps they mostly do. Ah, questions, questions, questions.…”

“…Возможна и спонтанная "дезорганизация" ТТП в ФП. Так, у 60-82% больных после успешного устранения ТТП при радиочастотной катетерной аблации КТИ опи-сано появление ФП, которая до этого не регистриро-валась [6,9,10].…”
