Perimitral and roof-dependent flutters with centrifugal propagation are favored by a low-voltage area located at well-identified anatomical structures. Comprehensive entrainment pacing maneuvers are crucial to distinguish pseudo-focal ATs from true focal ATs. Blocking the anatomical isthmus is a better therapeutic option than ablating the breakthrough site.
