EP Fellows Curriculum: Post AF LA flutter Ablation-Post AF LA flutter Ablation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Greg Michalakis discusses various aspects of catheter ablation for atrial tachycardia. He explains the importance of mapping systems in providing detailed information about the circuits involved in atrial tachycardia. He also discusses the significance of visualization of circuits in anticipating the type of atrial tachycardia that patients may have during ablation. Dr. Michalakis highlights the different approaches in ablation and gives examples of more challenging cases. He also discusses the use of entrainment and pacing to determine the mechanism of atrial tachycardia. Dr. Michalakis emphasizes the importance of understanding the circuit and the region of scar in predicting and treating atrial tachycardia. He provides examples of cases where he had success in ablating atrial tachycardia. He also discusses the use of different settings for radiofrequency ablation in different regions of the heart. Overall, the video provides valuable insights into the techniques used in catheter ablation for atrial tachycardia.
