Diagnosis and ablation of atypical atrial tachycardia and flutter complicating atrial fibrillation ablation.
Depending on the ablation strategy, up to 30% to 50% of patients will develop an atrial tachycardia after undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. This review discusses the mechanisms, mapping techniques, and catheter ablation of atrial tachycardias that occur after radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation.
