Prior investigators note successful ablation of both typical cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent and scar-related macroreentrant right atrial flutters (AFL) in adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). However, an analysis of the mechanisms (including a description of a uniform approach to diagnose such mechanisms), and clinical outcomes of catheter ablation in a consecutive series of adult patients with AFL late after surgical TOF repair has not been previously reported.

    The pulmonary vein ablation catheter (PVAC) is designed for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Electrical reconnection of pulmonary veins is believed to result in AF recurrence. The purpose of this study was to establish the location and extent of PV reconnection after PVI with the PVAC catheter. METHO...
