Irregular atrial flutter following pulmonary vein isolation for persistent atrial fibrillation

Irregular atrial flutter following pulmonary vein isolation for persistent atrial fibrillation

A 65-year-old man with a history of refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) underwent catheter ablation for persistent AF lasting 2 months. AF was not terminated after complete isolation of the 4 pulmonary veins (PV). Instead, it was transformed to a sustained atrial tachyarrhythmia with beat...
