Abstract

We sought to evaluate prospectively the safety and efficacy of cryothermal energy to ablate typical atrial flutter (AFL). Ablation of cardiac tissue using cryothermal energy has recently been developed as an alternative to radiofrequency energy, which may offer certain advantages in the treatment of AFL. This prospective, multicenter nonrandomized study of a new catheter-based system for the treatment of cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent AFL enrolled patients between 18 and 75 years of age. The CTI dependence of AFL was confirmed at electrophysiologic study with activation mapping and/or entrainment. Patients with atrial septal defect, recent myocardial infarction, left ventricular ejection fraction
