OBJECTIVE Although cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation can cure typical atrial flutter (AFL), it might be difficult to achieve a bidirectional conduction block in the isthmus in some patients. We investigated the usefulness of a steerable sheath for CTI ablation in patients with typical AFL or atrial fibrillation. RESULTS A total of 40 consecutive patients (36 males; mean age 55.2 +/- 10.0 years) undergoing CTI ablation were randomized to one of the following two groups: group S (using a steerable long sheath) or group NS (using a non-steerable long sheath). Ablation was performed using an 8 mm tip catheter. The anatomy of the CTI was evaluated by a dual-source computed tomography scan prior to the procedure. The procedural endpoint was the achievement of a bidirectional isthmus conduction block. Bidirectional block in the CTI was achieved in all patients with 485.3 +/- 416.4 s of radiofrequency (RF) application. The CTI anatomy, including the length, depth, and morphology, was similar between the two groups. The duration and total amount of RF energy delivery were significantly shorter and smaller in group S than in group NS (310 +/- 193 vs. 661 +/- 504 s, P = 0.006, and 12,197 +/- 7306 vs. 26,906 +/- 21,238 J, P = 0.006, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The use of a steerable sheath reduced the time and amount of energy needed to achieve a bidirectional conduction block in the CTI. For patients in whom the establishment of a conduction block is difficult, a steerable sheath should be considered as a therapeutic option for typical AFL ablation.

D001281 Atrial Fibrillation Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.

D001282 Atrial Flutter Rapid, irregular atrial contractions caused by a block of electrical impulse conduction in the right atrium and a reentrant wave front traveling up the inter-atrial septum and down the right atrial free wall or vice versa. Unlike ATRIAL FIBRILLATION which is caused by abnormal impulse generation, typical atrial flutter is caused by abnormal impulse conduction. As in atrial fibrillation, patients with atrial flutter cannot effectively pump blood into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES).
