Voltage-directed cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation using a novel ablation catheter mapping technology in a myotonic dystrophy type I patient.
A successful case of maximum voltage-directed cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation using a novel ablation catheter mapping technology in a myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) patient is reported. The patient complained recurrent episodes of atrial flutter, revealed by the atrio-ventricular electrograms analysis during the routine pacemaker controls.
