What is Atypical Atrial Flutter in Patients After Cardiac Surgery about?

## Abstract ## Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. ## Background Atypical atrial flutter (AFL) is often associated with cardiac surgery or extensive catheter ablation (CA) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) [1-2]. Therefore, the increase in the number of cardiac surgery procedures leads to the development of substrates for atypical AFL onset. Incisions after cardiac surgery are common substrates for macro re-entry tachycardia and one patient can suffer from several macro re-entry tachycardia mechanisms. Atrial flutter in this category of patients lead to heart failure. ## Objective The aim of our study was to access the effectiveness and safety of catheter ablation of atypical atrial flutter in patients after cardiac surgery. ## Methods 107 adult patients with AFL after cardiac surgery and catheter ablation were included in a single-center prospective study. The patient’s mean age was 57.8±11.1 years with the prevalence of male (56%). BMI was 27,8±5 kg/m 2. All patients underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atypical AFL with 3D navigation system Carto3 using the CLOSE protocol. The patients were discharged safely and were monitored for 12 months.
