Impact of previous left atrial ablation procedures on the mechanism of left atrial flutter: A single-centre experience.

We identified different mechanisms of LA flutters in preablated vs ablation-naïve patients. In ablation-naïve patients, most tachycardias involved low-voltage areas rather than anatomical structures. Using HDM, acute success rates were high. Hypothetical linear ablations were less successful in ablation-naïve individuals, further highlighting the need to identify the specific individual tachycardia mechanism in these patients.
