Intraoperative Monopolar Radiofrequency Ablation in Chronic Atrial Flutter with Concomitant Pulmonary Stenosis

Abstract

We successfully treated a 54 year old woman suffering pulmonary stenosis with chronic and drug resistant atrial flutter by means of intraoperative radiofrequency ablation. Ablation applied to the cavotricuspid isthmus by a visible monopolar electrode is easy to perform as a concomitant procedure during repair of congenital structural heart disease.
