Roof-dependent atrial flutter (AFL) is a major tachyarrhythmia rotating in the left atrium (LA). Here, we describe a case of roof-dependent AFL during atrial fibrillation ablation. LA posterior wall (LAPW) debulking ablation was performed before the induction. Atrial tachycardia (AT) was induced by burst pacing, and the 3D mappings showed a focal pattern from the LA inferior area. The post-pacing interval from the roof and bottom line corresponded to the AT cycle length. The LAPW debulking ablation masked roof-dependent AFL due to the lack of endocardium potentials in the LAPW. We report that roof-dependent AFL connected by epicardium fibers.
依赖房顶的房性心动过速(房扑)是一种主要的在左心房(LA)内旋转的快速性心律失常。在此,我们描述一例在房颤消融过程中发生的依赖房顶的房扑。LA 后壁(LAPW)减容消融在诱发前进行。房性心动过速(AT)通过burst pacing 诱发,3D 标测显示出从 LA 下壁区域的局灶性模式。起搏后间隔与房顶和底线相对应,与 AT 周期长度相对应。由于 LAPW 内缺乏心内膜电位,LAPW 减容消融掩盖了依赖房顶的房扑。我们报告了一种由心外膜纤维连接的依赖房顶的房扑。
