Abstract
We report a 41 years old female, previously operated of an atrial septal de
fect, presenting with a persisting atrial flutter. Sinus node dysfunction b
ecame evident during an electrophysiological study at the moment of interru
pting the flutter with electrical stimulation. The patient was treated with
his bundle ablation and implantation of a definitive pacemaker. After one
year of follow up, she is devoid of symptoms.
