Radiofrequency ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus for management of atrial flutter in patients with congenital heart disease after tricuspid valve surgery: A single Center experience

Typical atrial flutter involving the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) is the most common reentrant arrhythmia in congenital heart disease (CHD) and ablation is effective in its management. However, CHD patients often require surgical interventions on their tricuspid valve that utilize prosthetic material making CTI ablation technically challenging.
