The article presents the clinical, instrumental and electrophysiological features of patients who develop atrial fibrillation after cavotricuspid isthmus ablation in 209 patients with typical atrial flutter. Taken together, these features make up a peculiar clinical, instrumental and electrophysiological portrait of patients with post-ablative atrial fibrillation. Comparative analysis of these parameters was made, and it was found that some of them are prognostically significant. Also, we describe the technique of modified intraoperative electrophysiological test of atrial fibrillation induction in patients with typical atrial flutter. We investigated the role of this technique in the occurrence of post ablative atrial fibrillation.
