Abstract
Anatomically guided radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of atrial flutter was performed in a 41‐year‐old man with interstitial pneumonia. He died of respiratory failure 2 months after ablation, and an autopsy was performed. The whole layer of the ablation site showed a transluminal fibrosis.Keywords
