BACKGROUND: Mapping and ablating atypical atrial flutters (AAFLs) have evolved greatly with advances in high-density 3D mapping systems over the last years.
METHODS: The objectives are to evaluate the feasibility of AAFL catheter ablation based on high-density mapping and minimizing entrainment and to better characterize AAFL circuits. Consecutive patients who underwent AAFL ablation using the EnSite Precision™ system and HD Grid™ mapping catheter (Abbott, Chicago, IL) between 06/2018 and 1/2022 were included. Mitral isthmus-dependent and roof-dependent AAFLs were classified as conventional circuits. All other AAFL circuits were classified as non-conventional circuits and were defined based on the location of the critical isthmus.
RESULTS: Sixty-two patients underwent AAFL ablation (mean age 68±11 years). A total of 95 AAFLs were mapped and 92 (97%) were successfully ablated. Fifty-three (85%) patients had a previous AF/AFL ablation. Forty-four (46%) AAFL circuits were classified as conventional and 51 (54%) as non-conventional. Conventional AAFL circuits had longer critical isthmuses (19.0±9.0 vs 10.8±6.3mm, p<0.001), a lower prevalence of slow conduction at the critical isthmus (59% vs 86%, p=0.005), and a longer radiofrequency time to AAFL termination (117±119 vs 51±66 s, p=0.002). Entrainment was attempted in 19 (20%) flutters and its use declined significantly over the study period. Procedural success rates remained high whether entrainment was used or not. Freedom of any atrial tachycardia was 65% over a follow-up of 13.8±9.0 months.
CONCLUSIONS: AAFL catheter ablation can be achieved with high procedural success rate using a contemporary strategy based on high-density mapping alone. Non-conventional circuits are frequent and present unique electrophysiological characteristics.
