Impact of previous cardiac surgery on long-term outcome of cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter ablation

Conclusion
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of CTI-AFL after surgical correction of AHD and CHD is associated with high acute success rates. The severity of the structural alterations of the underlying heart disease and consequently the type of surgical correction correlates with higher risk for recurrence.
