Neonatal atrial flutter (AFL) has a usually benign clinical course in patients with normal structural hearts. However, an AFL can be potentially lethal in cases of recurrent attack and can result in complications, such as congestive heart failure. Moreover, an intractable AFL requires multiple external electrical cardioversions, and it demonstrates a poor response to antiarrhythmic drug therapy [1-3]. Here, we report a case of intractable AFL which was successfully controlled with flecainide and propranolol therapy in a premature infant.
