ABSTRACT
Background:
Electroanatomical mapping is an essential tool in the ablation of typical AFL.Objectives:
To identify the existence of voltage patterns in the CTI voltage maps and their relevance for typical AFL ablation.Methods:
A voltage map of the CTI was made prior to ablation, identifying the areas of maximum voltage and their location along the CTI, allowing classification into patterns according to their distribution. A stepwise ablation approach targeting the areas of maximum voltage was conducted. The ablation characteristics were compared based on the pattern obtained.Results:
Two voltage patterns were identified, with differences in ablation time to bidirectional CTI block. No complications occurred.Conclusions:
Voltage mapping identifies patterns in the CTI with implications for typical AFL ablation.
