Abstract
RF catheter ablation directed at the atrial substrate is a safe and effective means of treating patients with drug refractory atrial tachycardias and atrial flutter, avoiding the need for His-bundle ablation and permanent pacing. While further follow-up will be needed to evaluate the incidence of later recurrence or emergence of new arrhythmias, this is a promising technique for a growing cohort of patients.Keywords
