“Based on our study findings, physicians and patients need to be educated that atrial flutter can be readily cured through catheter ablation, and the procedure may reduce the risk for atrial ...

A 64-year-old man with a history of typical atrial flutter underwent a standard ablation procedure during atrial flutter to create bidirectional block across the cavotricuspid isthmus. When ...
