Typical Atrial Flutter, Ablation Index and Point by Point Ablation
Italy400 participantsStarted 2019-02-20
Plain-language summary
The Ablation of the typical atrial flutter can be considered substantially anatomical, the investigators want to test a protocol that foresees the use a lesion index (AI) and that respects the Inter-Lesion Distance (ILD) ≤ 6 mm on the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) The investigators want to prove how the introduction of a lesion index combined with the continuity of lesion can allow a "first pass block" of the CTI decreasing total Radio-Frequency (RF) times
