Intra-atrial conduction block within the inferior vena cava-tricuspid annulus isthmus (IVCT) has been shown to predict successful common atrial flutter ablation. However, its demonstration requires the use of several electrode catheters and mapping of the line of block. The aim of this study was prospectively to test the feasibility of a simplified ablation procedure using only two catheters.
