Subxiphoid epicardial approach for catheter ablation of refractory perimitral atrial flutter: a case series
Epicardial bridging may account for a significant proportion of catheter ablation failure in perimitral atrial flutters. In such cases, a subxiphoid percutaneous epicardial approach appears to be a safe and effective strategy to target the epicardial gap, restore sinus rhythm, and obtain complete mitral isthmus line block.
