Ablation of atrial flutter in a patient after Fontan procedure: a case report of challenging access to the common atrium.

We present a case of challenging access to the CA through a clipped fenestration in a polytetrafluoroethylene baffle for atrial tachycardia ablation. Even though a tunnel fenestration in Fontan patients facilitates access to the CA, the passage of a steerable introducer with a mapping catheter may be challenging due to diameter mismatch and the rigidity of its edges caused by MCs. The balloon-against-dilator technique might be helpful when conventional balloon angioplasty fails.
