[Auricular flutter associated with interauricular communication in an infant].
A case of a two year old child with atrial flutter diagnosed at four months of age is presented. The child also had a large atrial septal defect. We were not able to convert the atrial flutter to sinus rhythm with medical treatment of electroshock. However, it did respond to mechanical stimulation during cardiac catheterization. The atrial septal defect was repaired and the patient has not had a recurrence of the flutter.
