摘要
A 60-year-old woman who had previously undergone an atrial septal defect repair and had type I atrial flutter underwent electrophysiological study. After radiofrequency (RF) ablation to the isthmus between the inferior vena cava and the tricuspid annulus, type I atrial flutter was changed to atrial tachycardia following atriotomy without termination. This atrial tachycardia was eliminated by single-site RF ablation of a small lesion below the caudal end of the atriotomy scar, where continuous and fragmented potentials were recorded during tachycardia. We experienced a rare case in which RF energy changed tachycardia circuits.
