This study evaluates the long-term clinical outcome of 56 consecutive patients affected by atrial fibrillation and drug-related typical atrial flutter who underwent cavo-tricuspid isthmus radiofrequency ablation. Symptomatic arrhythmic events recurred after ablation in 64% of the patients during follow-up of 19 +/- 9 months. Even in those who had recurrences, there was a substantial reduction in the incidence of episodes, quality of life was improved, and hospitalizations decreased. |
