A 50-year-old male patient with a history of severe valvular regurgitation underwent mitral and aortic valve replacement surgery 3 months ago. Preoperative 12-lead electrocardiogram presented atrial flutter (AFL) and atrial fibrillation. AFL complicated with ventricular pre-excitation was observed on current admission. The potential mechanisms underlying these changes were considered multifaceted, and valve replacement procedure may be a rare incentive factor.
