Tricuspid Isthmus Imaged by CARTOsound, Patients With Typical Atrial Flutter

NCT01113788 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators propose a third hypothesis based on the anatomic observations made in pathological studies. The investigators hypothesize that the anatomic architecture determines the functional properties of the TV-IVC isthmus. As a result,

• Muscular bundles are preferential routes of conduction through the TV-IVC isthmus. The isthmus acts like a series of discreet conduction routes rather than as a sheet of tissue.

The muscular bundles form selective targets for ablation and therefore the entire anatomic line need not be ablated. This has direct implications for ablation of the isthmus.
