Biatrial flutter is a rare form of macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia that involves both the right and left atria. Single-loop biatrial flutter is typically associated with scarring of the septum from prior ablation or surgery and is generally made up of two interatrial connections—that is, the coronary sinus and Bachmann’s bundle. Entrainment and high-density mapping allow for rapid diagnosis and development of a treatment strategy. Ablation planning should also take into consideration the preservation of interatrial conduction. We herein discuss a case of single-loop biatrial flutter presenting as a typical atrial flutter and review the differential diagnosis and physiology of the arrhythmia.

Focal atrial tachycardia (AT) is a relatively uncommon cause of supraventricular tachycardia, but when present is frequently difficult to treat medically. Atrial tachycardias tend to originate from anatomically determined atrial sites. The P-wave morphology on surface electrocardiogram (ECG) together with more sophisticated contemporary mapping techniques facilitates precise localisation and ablation of these ectopic foci. Catheter ablation of focal AT is associated with high long-term success and may be viewed as a primary treatment strategy in symptomatic patients.

Pitvarfibrilláció miatt végzett pulmonalis vena izolációját követően a betegek egy részénél iatrogén bal pitvari tachycardia jelentkezik. Cél: A sotalolterápia hatásosságának összehasonlítása az 1C tip. propafenonnal szemben, a postablatiós arrhythmiák kezelésében. Módszer és eredmények: A vizsgálatba 75, pitvarfibrillációban szenvedő beteget (átlagéletkor 55,4 ± 7,14 év) választottunk, akiknél a pulmonalis vénák valódi elektromos izolálását végeztük. A beavatkozás során az elektromos izolációt körkörös multipoláris katéterrel ellenőriztük. Az ablatiót követően folytattuk az antiarrhythmiás terápiát még minimum 6 hétig, de célunk annak leépítése volt. Az utánkövetést 1, majd 3 havonta tervezett, ambuláns vizsgálatok alapján végeztük. A 12. hónap végén 67 betegnél tudtuk a protokoll szerint gyűjtött adatokat elemezni. 21 betegnél jelentkezett 3 hónapot követően tartósan bal pitvari tachycardia (31,3%). 11 beteg propafenon-, 4 beteg amiodaron- és 6 beteg sotalolterápiában részesült. Az első két csoportnál sotalolterápiára váltottunk, míg az utolsó csoportnál propafenonterápiát kezdtünk. A 12. hónap végére a sotalol hatásossága 80%, a propafenon hatásossága 20% volt. Következtetések: Adataink alapján PV-izolációt követően a sotalolterápia nem hatásosabb a bal pitvari tachycardiák megelőzésében, mint a propafenon. A 3 hónapon túl fellépő postablatiós bal pitvari tachycardiák kezelésében a sotalol hatásosabb, mint az IC-csoportba tartozó propafenon.

Abstract Introduction: Accessory pathways are commonly seen due to delamination of tricuspid valve leaflets. In addition to accessory pathways, an enlarged right atrium due to tricuspid regurgitation and incisional scars creates substrates for atrial re-entries and ectopic tachycardia. We sought to describe our experience with catheter ablation in children with Ebstein’s anomaly. Methods and results: During the study period, of 89 patients diagnosed with Ebstein’s anomaly, 26 (30.9%) of them who underwent 33 ablation procedures were included in the study. Accessory pathways were observed in the majority of procedures (n = 27), whereas atrial flutter was observed in five, atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in five, and atrial tachycardia in two procedures. Accessory pathways were commonly localised in the right posteroseptal (n = 10 patients), right posterolateral (n = 14 patients), septal (n = two patients), and left posteroseptal (n = one patient) areas. Multiple accessory pathways and coexistent arrhythmia were observed in six procedures. All ablation attempts related to the accessory pathways were successful, but recurrence was observed in five (19%) of the ablations. Ablation for atrial flutter was performed in five patients; two of them were ablated successfully. One of the atrial tachycardia cases was ablated successfully. Conclusions: Ablation in patients with Ebstein’s anomaly is challenging, and due to nature of the disease, it is not a rare occasion in this group of patients. Ablation of accessory pathways has high success, but also relatively high recurrence rates, whereas ablation of atrial arrhythmias has lower success rates, especially in operated patients.
