Typical Atrial Flutter Isthmus Ablation (CTI)
Ablation can be considered after evaluation when there are recurrent episodes of typical atrial flutter, causing palpitations, poor tolerance, or tachycardia-related cardiac dysfunction. The decision will integrate rhythm type, whether it is isthmus-dependent, previous medication or cardioversion ef

How Typical Atrial Flutter Isthmus Ablation (CTI) is performed
This procedure is often used for typical atrial flutter, usually employing electrophysiological catheters and 3D mapping systems via a venous approach, if applicable. Typically, under local anesthesia and sedation, a catheter is inserted through the femoral vein, positioned at the tricuspid isthmus, and radiofrequency ablation is performed point-by-point along the isthmus, with the goal of creating a bidirectional block linear lesion. Intraoperative and postoperative monitoring of heart rhythm, blood pressure, and puncture site is conducted, with cardioversion and anticoagulation management as needed. The overall goal is to terminate the reentrant circuit and reduce recurrence. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.

Recovery process
Step 1
Recovery and stay
Considering preoperative evaluation, hospitalization/treatment, and postoperative follow-up, it is generally recommended to stay in China for approximately 7–14 days; the specific duration depends on the hospital's actual schedule and recovery status.
