Radiofrequency ablation of the left atrial scar-related atrial flutter in a patient without prior ablative procedures

Abstract

Atypical atrial flutter may develop in patients without prior cardiac ablations. In such cases, they may be related to the areas of spontaneous left atrial scarring. We describe a case report of a patient with atypical left atrial flutter with areas of spontaneous left atrial scarring adjacent to the mitral valve annulus.
