RESULTS
We performed ablation for atrial flutter without ablation for other
arrhythmias on 132 patients between October 2013 and September 2018. All
received an adenosine test at 5 minutes. The test resulted in transient
recurrence of clockwise conduction across the CTI in 3 patients (2.3%),
all of whom went on to have a persistent recurrence of bidirectional
conduction across the CTI at 6-10 minutes respectively. An additional 3
patients had persistent recurrence of CTI conduction at 17-19 minutes
despite having had a negative adenosine test.
