A Retrospective Study of Atrial Fibrillation Following Cavotricuspid Isthmus Ablation for Atrial Flutter.

CONCLUSIONS Following cavotricuspid isthmus ablation for atrial flutter, recurrence of atrial flutter was found in 15% of cases, and asymptomatic AF occurred in 30%. These findings have implications for the use of post-ablation oral anticoagulation treatment, which is often discontinued following ablation therapy and before patient follow-up.
