Abstract
The induction of a complete conduction block of the isthmus between inferio
r vena cava and tricuspid annulus is considered the best predictor for lack
of arrhythmia recurrence if radiofrequency catheter ablation for typical a
trial flutter is performed. We evaluated a simplified algorithm to determin
e complete isthmus block that, in our series, had a predictive accuracy of
100% when compared with the gold standard.
