Clinical Trial Summary

Unicenter, 1:1 randomized, open-labelled clinical trial comparing left atrial flutter ablation using high density mapping or strict lineal ablation. Main outcome: arrhythmia recurrences over 1 year follow-up with daily 1-lead 30 seconds ECG samples.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

• Left atrial flutter1 inducible during electrophysiological evaluation.

• Clinical indication for ablation: a) symptoms (palpitations, dizziness, syncope, breathlessness, derangement, heart failure), tachymiopathy, b) poor heart rate control, or c) recurrence after electrical cardioversion or failure of one antiarrhythmic drug.

• Informed consent.

1. Patients will be enrolled if LAFL is clinically suspected but finally randomized if this mechanism is established by electrophysiologic evaluation according to the criteria stated above.

Exclusion criteria

• Previous ablation of LAFL.

• Previous linear ablation in the LA except for pulmonary vein isolation.

• Absolute contraindication for oral anticoagulation.

• Stroke or acute coronary syndrome less than 3 months before ablation.

• Complex congenital heart disease.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Proportion of patients without sustained (=30 s) atrial arrhythmia episodes over 1-year follow-up in each group.	Daily 1-lead 30 seconds ECG samples.	1 year follow-up
Secondary	Acute success.	Termination of all organized atrial arrhythmias (spontaneous or induced, organized and stable atrial arrhythmias with duration =3 min).	Acute intraprocedural.
Secondary	Non-inducibility.	Non-inducibility of all organized atrial arrhythmias at the end of the ablation procedure.	Acute intraprocedural.
Secondary	Procedure duration.	From vein puncture up to seaths withdrawal.	Acute intraprocedural.
Secondary	Left atrial dwell time.	From transeptal puncture up to catheters withdrawal from the left atrium.	Acute intraprocedural.
Secondary	Safety.	Incidence of compications: 1)vascular lesions, 2)cardiac tamponade, 3)embolism.	Acute a 1 month after ablation (procedure-related complications).
Secondary	Hospitalization.	Number of hospitalizations due to atrial arrhythmia episodes at 1-year follow-up.	1 year.
