Common atrial flutter is due to a re-entry circuit in the right atrium. It is possible to entrain and interrupt this arrhythmia with transoesophageal pacing (TEAP) in a substantial percentage of patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate factors associated with failure of transoesophageal cardioversion of common atrial flutter.

Abstract

Common atrial flutter is due to a re-entry circuit in the right atrium. It is possible to entrain and interrupt this arrhythmia with transoesophageal pacing (TEAP) in a substantial percentage of patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate factors associated with failure of transoesophageal cardioversion of common atrial flutter.
