Role of functional block extension in lesion-related atrial flutter.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:A line of block in the right atrium (RA) between the venae cavae is necessary to obtain classic atrial flutter (AFL). We tested the hypothesis that the location of that line of block would determine whether the AFL reentrant circuit would be due to single-loop reentry or figure-of-8 reentry. METHODS AND RESULTS:Simultaneous mapping from 392 sites (both atria and the atrial septum) was performed in 13 normal dogs before and after creating a linear lesion on the RA free wall. The lesion was 1 to 1.5 cm anterior and parallel to the crista terminalis (7 dogs) or posterior and close to the crista terminalis region (6 dogs). Sustained AFL (>2 minutes) was then induced. In 4 dogs with an anterior lesion, the AFL reentrant circuit traveled around the lesion (lesion reentry). In 9 dogs (3 with anterior lesions and 6 with posterior lesions), the AFL reentrant circuit included the anterior RA free wall, the atrial septum, and Bachmann's bundle (single-loop reentry). In these 9 dogs, the fixed line of block was extended to the superior and/or inferior vena cava by a functional line of block, thereby preventing lesion reentry. No figure-of-8 reentry was induced. CONCLUSIONS:In this model, the location of a fixed line of block and its functional extension determine the type of AFL reentry. These data provide an explanation for the chronic AFL that occurs in some patients after surgical repair of congenital heart lesions.

  • Radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial flutter. Further insights into the various types of isthmus block: application to ablation during sinus rhythm.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Radiofrequency ablation of type 1 atrial flutter (AF1) has recently evolved toward an anatomically guided procedure directed to isthmuses at the lower part of the right atrium (RA). However, different types of block at these isthmuses may be observed and potentially correlated with different late outcomes. I...
