ABLATION OF POST-INFARCTION ATYPICAL ATRIAL FLUTTER
Abstract
The case report is presented of a patient with different types of atrial flutter (typical, left-atrial, and septal ones); its relation to post-infarction atrial scars is confirmed. Catheter ablation with electro-anatomic mapping permitted one to visualize post-infarction alterations and to eliminate successfully the arrhythmias.
