Catheter ablation of isthmus-dependent atrial flutter is technically demanding in some patients and extremely simple in others. The intervention targets a defined anatomical structure, the so-called cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI). We sought to characterize CTI anatomy in vivo in patients with difficult and simple catheter ablation of atrial flutter.
